Balendra Shah, rapper-turned-politician and structural engineer, takes the oath of office as the youngest Prime Minister of Nepal during a ceremony in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 27, 2026. Shah, a former Mayor of Kathmandu, is appointed following the March 2026 general elections in which the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) wins a parliamentary majority. This follows months of political unrest in 2025 that led to the resignation of the previous government and the formation of an interim administration. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
