Nepal's Gen Z Upends Old Guard in Quest for Change
Nepal's youth-led protests have disrupted the country's political landscape, rejecting traditional parties. As a key election looms, will Gen Z reshape the nation's future?
In the heart of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, a groundswell of youth activism has upended the country's long-standing political order. Last year, mass protests driven by Gen Z demonstrators denounced the corruption and ineffectiveness of the country's established political parties, whose leaders have dominated Nepali politics for decades.
The protests reflected a deep disenchantment among Nepal's youth with the country's traditional power brokers. Now, as the nation gears up for a crucial election in November, the question looms: will this generational shift in political sentiment translate into tangible change at the ballot box?
