Way forward for post Gen Z movement: Vanquished and victors must work together
Summary
The Gen Z movement's impact on Nepal's political scene has led to calls for collaboration among political forces to ensure peaceful elections and address key national issues through referendums.
Key Points
- The Gen Z movement rapidly toppled a nearly two-thirds majority government in Nepal, marking the shortest successful political movement in the country's history.
- Historical political transitions in Nepal involved cooperation between victorious and defeated parties, setting a precedent for current political challenges.
- Current political parties have divergent stances on election timing, parliamentary restoration, and the role of monarchy with Gen Z pushing for scheduled elections and executive roles.
- A proposed solution inspired by late Girija Prasad Koirala suggests expanding Parliament with Gen Z members and resolving key issues like secularism and federalism via referendum alongside elections.
