Shah is appointed as the youngest Prime Minister of Nepal following the March 2026 general elections, in which the Rastriya Swatantra Party secured a parliamentary majority. The elections followed months of political unrest in 2025 that led to the resignation of the previous government and the formation of an interim administration.
