Last week, citizens in Nepal headed to the polls for the first time since last September’s youth-led protests toppled the government. Balendra Shah, the former Kathmandu mayor who rose to prominence as a face of the Gen Z movement, is projected to win in a landslide victory. Shah’s electoral victory signals a shifting political order in Nepal, a result that could upend a bureaucratic system long dominated by three parties. To understand this historic election, we look back at a movement that started with a few social media posts and changed the course of a nation. (Source: Bloomberg)
