Nepal's Gen Z Protesters Choose Between Leaders Amid Turmoil
Nepal is undergoing significant political turmoil as Gen Z protesters demand systemic change, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. Amidst violence that has claimed at least 31 lives, the movement initially backed former Chief Justice Sushila Karki to lead an interim government, but support shifted towards Kulman Ghising, an apolitical technocrat credited with solving the electricity crisis. Ongoing discussions among protesters, the President, and military leaders are focused on establishing a new government capable of restoring order and conducting elections. This political upheaval reflects a strong desire among youth for transparency and accountability in governance.
