Nepal: Protest, Politics, and a Gen Z Election
About this episode
This episode discusses the youth-led protests in Nepal and the upcoming election that could reshape its political landscape.
After mass youth-led protests in September 2025 forced the prime minister to resign, Nepal is preparing for a March 5, 2026, election that could reshape its political future. In this episode, we unpack Nepal’s dramatic political evolution over the past 25 years and explore how this moment fits into a wider regional pattern of protest-driven political change. Is this really a “Gen Z election”? Can protest energy translate into lasting democratic change? And what happens when digital movements meet real-world ballots?
