Former rapper and Gen Z's candidate poised to win Nepali election by landslide | CBC Accessibility In a resounding victory that is guaranteed to reshape Nepal's politics, rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah appeared headed for a landslide win in the South Asian country's first polls since youth-...

“Nepal's voters across the country overwhelmingly put their confidence in Balen in what is seen as emphatic confirmation that #GenZ anger against the old guard considered responsible for government #corruption and #nepotism can be harnessed into real political change.”

Well, congratulations to my generation (Gen X) in Nepal for catapulting from “waiting in the wings” to “senior advisor” status. 🙂 It’ll be interesting to see what the kids get up to.

The map is being painted 🎨
And the artists? The people of #Nepal. 🇳🇵
At this point the election map looks less like a dashboard and more like a #Picasso masterpiece — chaotic, creative, and impossible to replicate.
Truly a work of art that only Nepalis could produce.

@barackobama.bsky.social referred to the 2010 midterm elections as a "shellacking"

#Nepal will refer #Election2026 as "Pattasafing" (पत्तासाफिङ )

There are organizations here funded by Hindu extremists from the south, with a goal of creating a hindu theocracy & they want a figurehead to rally behind. They use the monarchy, as that aligns well with hindu hierarchy

Besides them people don't give a shit about the monarchy. Their time has passed

Kathmandu ranked world’s third most polluted city at Friday noon Experts expect new government to take concrete steps to address air pollution. Brief rain likely across Bagmati, Gandaki, and Sudurpaschim provinces until Sunday.

Hoping the new 🇳🇵government can work toward cleaner air

It's not just a problem in Nepal, but throughout the entire south asian subcontinent.

Many of our culture & tradition are rooted in nature, but Hinduism is cannibalizing them into their own rhetoric, claiming they are related/reincarnate of their gods

It's a genuine problem, but often casually accepted because of how trusting people are, then local culture is converted to theatrics.

Nepal's newly founded Rastriya Swatantra Party leads early election results with potential for a two-thirds parliamentary majority, driven by voter demand for transparency and good governance over establishment parties.

Rastriya Swatantra Party surges towards landslide victory Observers say voters punished old parties for their failure to deliver, abuse of power, and widespread corruption.

"In a damning indictment of the established political parties, the 3-year-old Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is giving them a run for their money.... candidates of the Congress, UML and NCP were being trounced, with the RSP on course to win a thumping majority."

It’s an era of trickster politics. It’s not useful to be naive. But Nepal’s trajectory in our lifetime has been steadily—and every now and then, extremely unsteadily—towards more and more democracy. I sincerely hope the country continues along this path after March 5. 🙏🏼

Time to vote has ended. Thank you for everyone who participated. 🇳🇵

The journey doesn't end here, we need to actively pursue transparency & accountability here on out or dark patterns & corruption will creep in again.

The state of our country reflects on all of us!

I’ve travelled this road once, from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and decided to fly back from Pokhara to Kathmandu. The roads are terrible and we thought we’d go over the cliff, on every turn. We endured 8 hours of this! RIP to the victims.
