Nepal: Rapper-politician Balendra Shah's party wins Nepal election
The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) won a landslide victory in Nepal's election, securing the most seats for a single party in decades. Rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah, who leads the RSP, is poised to become the country's next leader. The result reflects a desire for change among voters, particularly young people, who are seeking solutions to issues like unemployment and inequality. The election follows last year's youth-led protests that led to the ousting of then-Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
