Gen Z Effect: Rapper To Become New PM Of Country?

It is already known that Nepal’s politics has been going through significant turmoil in recent times due to the Gen Z led protests. Now, an interesting development has emerged regarding the ongoing elections in Nepal.

Incidentally, Balendra Shah, who was previously a rapper by profession, had floated his own political party called the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). He is now on course to become the Prime Minister of Nepal.

Early results in Nepal’s 2026 general elections indicate a major political shift, with Balendra Shah and the RSP gaining strong momentum.

Driven by a surge of Gen Z voters, the polls reflect rising demands for anti corruption reforms and better economic opportunities in Nepal. While the final results for all 275 seats will take time, early trends are projecting a big win for Balen Shah’s RSP.

The party was officially launched in Nepal only shortly before the election, and it is already on track to come to power in its very first election. This momentum is largely credited to the Gen Z movement that recently shook the country and challenged the previous administration.

The official election results in Nepal are expected to be released by March 9 as the counting process is lengthy. However, celebrations have already started at RSP offices as Balendra Shah’s party appears set for a comfortable majority in the parliament.
