Nepal Election 2026: Contenders and Stakes

Nepal is gearing up for a pivotal parliamentary election on Thursday, following a Gen Z-led uprising that led to the government’s resignation six months ago. Nearly 19 million people, including 800,000 first-time voters, will participate in the election, with polling stations open from 7am to 5pm local time. The election is significant as traditional parties face a challenge from a newly formed party led by former rapper Balendra Shah, with results expected within a few days after voting.
