Nepal Parliamentary Elections
Election officials carry a sealed ballot box to transport it to a vote counting center after the completion of the voting process during the Nepal Parliamentary Elections in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 5, 2026. Ballot boxes from polling stations across the capital are collected and transferred under security escort for counting as authorities begin the process of tallying votes. The elections follow widespread youth-led protests that topple the government of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli after deadly demonstrations that leave more than 76 people dead and many injured.
