Celebration All Across Nepal, As Balen’s Party Claims “Two-third Majority” In The Ongoing Nepal Parliamentary Election
Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, a candidate from the Balendra Shah (Balen) affiliated Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), is felicitated by party supporters and voters during the victory rally in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 6, 2026. Balendra Shah (Balen), the former rapper and mayor of Kathmandu, is poised to become the next Prime Minister after the clean sweep in the election held on the whelm of September's Gen-Z protest, which topples the government led by KP Sharma Oli. The two-day protest sees the death of at least 77 protestors after police open fire on the protestors, who mainly are college-going students and the public. The March 5 election, which comes after a gap of six months, records a preliminary voter turnout of about 60 percent and is expected as a new dawn for Nepal. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
