Summary
Gen Z-led protests with differing agendas risk delaying Nepal's March 5 elections, exacerbating political instability.
Key Points
- Gen Z-led protests in Nepal have called for various agendas including an all-party government, restoration of monarchy, and direct executive elections.
- These movements risk delaying the crucial March 5 elections, which are seen as the solution to the ongoing political crisis.
- There is criticism of some protest leaders for mixing personal vendettas with national interests and for straying from initial goals of good governance and anti-corruption.
- Any further delay or reinstatement of the Parliament could worsen political uncertainty and undermine the progress made so far.
