Nepali eligible voters record their biometrics at an election office in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 10, 2025, signing up on the electoral list for the election called next March. Following the issuance of the Voter Roll Act, 2016, by the Nepal President in September, the Election Commission-Nepal updates the electoral list from early October. The ordinance is issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution, based on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers. It amends Section 4(2)(2) of the Voter List Act, which bars registration after the announcement of an election date. The newly formed interim government led by Prime Minister Sushila Karki calls for elections on March 5 next year. According to the previous provision, ''once the date of election is announced, no voter registration shall be made for that election.'' This legal hurdle prevents eligible citizens, particularly youth who recently reach voting age, from being listed in the voter roll. Many young people who play a role in the political change have not yet been registered as voters despite being eligible. The ordinance is brought to address this gap and ensure broader participation in the election. After a violent protest on September 8 and 9, then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli steps down from the post, which claims the lives of 74 people. Following the change in regime, Nepali President Ramchandra Paudel, on the recommendation of youth representatives, appoints former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as Prime Minister of an interim government. Karki, who takes charge as the interim Prime Minister, also recommends dissolving the House of Representatives, one of the key demands of the agitators, giving Karki six months to conduct parliamentary elections.

16 September 2025

Kulman Ghising, Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Physical Infrastructure, and Urban Development, takes stock of the situation in Singhadurbar, the administrative capital of Nepal, a week after it is set ablaze and vandalized by protestors on September 16, 2025. Kulman Ghising, a bureaucrat, is credited for playing a key role in ending hours-long daily power cuts a decade ago. Ghising, former managing director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), is widely credited for declaring Kathmandu Valley load-shedding-free during the Dashain-Tihar festival in October 2016. By May 2018, he extends this achievement nationwide, freeing the country from nearly 15 years of power rationing.
