The rapper-turned-mayor is presented as the next Prime Minister by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). The former rapper, who wins the local election of 2022 from the Nepali capital, also assumes the charge of senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). On December 28, Balen strikes a deal with the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) where it is agreed that he will be the next Prime Ministerial candidate from the party. As per the 7-point agreement, RSP chair Rabi Lamichhane continues as the party's central chairman, while Shah is presented as the party's parliamentary leader after the elections and its prime ministerial candidate. The RSP emerges as the fourth largest political force, winning 21 seats in the dissolved House of Representatives within a year of its establishment. With candidacy filing scheduled for January 20, Shah prepares to contest from the Jhapa-5 constituency in the March 5 elections, with the declared aim of beating four-time prime minister and CPN-UML chair KP Sharma Oli in his own constituency. Balen promises to institutionalize the agenda raised by September's Gen-Z movement. The electoral battle in Jhapa-5 shapes up to be an intriguing contest this time.

Thousands of supporters of Tunisian President Kais Saied take part in a rally organized in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 17, 2025, in support of the president as the country marks Revolution Day, the 15th anniversary of the Tunisian revolution. Supporters also protest against the ''foreign interference'' in the internal affairs of Tunisia. The anniversary is set against a backdrop of deep division between supporters of the president and his opponents. It also unfolds amid a deep economic and social crisis, with intensified protests against President Kais Saied's policies and an escalating crackdown on opposition figures, journalists, and human rights activists since he assumes sweeping powers in July 2021. Revolution Day commemorates the start of the Tunisian revolution, triggered by the self-immolation of the street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, which sparks a popular uprising that leads to the flight of former President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011.
