Nepal Elections 2026 | Nepal Votes Today In First Polls After Gen Z Protests #NDTV

Nearly 19 million of Nepal’s 30 million people are eligible to vote to pick a 275-member legislature, of which 165 candidates are directly elected and 110 selected via proportional representation. About one million of these voters – most of them youth – were added after last September’s protests.

In the race are the old guards like KP Sharma Oli’s Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (CPN-UML), Sher Bahadur Deuba’s Nepali Congress, and Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s CPN (Maoist Centre), who have been at the helm of power for about the last decade.

But most analysts say the 35-year-old rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah’s Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is at the forefront.
