Nepal’s leader says post-uprising polls on track

Nepal is set to conduct elections on March 5, following a wave of youth-led anti-corruption protests that resulted in the ousting of the previous government. This significant political shift, driven by widespread public discontent over corruption, has led Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to assure the nation that the electoral process is on track. The upcoming polls are seen as a crucial step in restoring political stability and addressing the demands for accountability and transparency in governance. The protests, which mobilized thousands of young Nepalis, have underscored the growing influence of the youth demographic in shaping the country's political landscape. As Nepal gears up for this pivotal electoral event, observers will be closely watching to see how the new government responds to the pressing issues raised during the protests and whether it can successfully navigate the challenges ahead.
