18 October 2025

Gen-Z leader Miraj Dhungana announces the formation of a political party to enter the mainstream politics of Nepal during a press conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 18, 2025. Dhungana rises to prominence following the Gen-Z movement. He is claimed to be the one who runs the online campaign for the September 8 protest. While confirming his intention to establish a political party, Dhungana says the official name of the party has not yet been decided. He adds that his group plans to seek suggestions from voters and the general public before finalizing the name. The Gen-Z movement, which draws widespread attention earlier this year, sees young activists like Dhungana demanding greater accountability, generational change, and transparency in Nepal's politics. His move into formal politics appears to be an attempt to channel that energy into an organized platform.
