The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), led by Balendra Shah, has achieved a significant victory in Nepal's parliamentary elections, securing a majority in the lower house.

Shah's ascent reflects a generational change in Nepalese politics, where a significant portion of the population is under 35. The 2025 protests, triggered by a social media ban and fueled by concerns over corruption and economic stagnation, played a crucial role in reshaping the political landscape. Shah, who previously served as Kathmandu's first independent mayor, emerged as a prominent figure during the unrest.

The RSP's campaign was notably supported by the Nepali diaspora, particularly in the United States. The party's organized approach contributed to its electoral success, indicating a shift in political dynamics.

Under Nepal's constitutional process, parties must submit names for proportionally allocated seats before the parliament convenes. The selection of a new prime minister, requiring support from at least half of the parliament members, is anticipated in the coming days.
