Nepalese voters cast ballots in parliamentary elections following months of protests by Gen Z demanding change. Turnout was estimated at 60 percent, with preliminary results expected to emerge on Friday. Election Commission officials reported peaceful voting conditions and a high level of voter participation. The vote comes after the resignation of Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli in response to youth-led protests that resulted in several deaths. The election is seen as crucial for addressing the aspirations of young voters who demanded accountability, jobs, and an end to corruption.
