100 days of Gen Z revolt
Summary
The Gen Z revolt in Nepal has reshaped the political landscape, sidelining traditional parties and inspiring youth-led new parties, though fundamental changes remain unfulfilled 100 days on.
Key Points
- The Gen Z revolt on 8-9 September displaced the coalition government and led to an interim government headed by Sushila Karki.
- Gen Z leaders are actively preparing to contest the upcoming 2026 elections, with new parties being formed reflecting post-revolt public expectations.
- Traditional parties like Nepali Congress, UML, and Maoists face internal challenges and calls for reform following the revolt.
- Despite hope and shifts in political dynamics, the revolt has yet to bring substantial improvement in the country's socio-political situation.
