In a significant development, Shah has defeated former Prime Minister KP Oli in his own parliamentary constituency, bringing him a step closer to becoming Nepal’s next prime minister. Nepal’s new mandate marks a political reset. But a full majority in parliament will bring its own set of expectations for RSP. The first major decision that the party’s leadership will have to deal with is the release of the Gauri Bahadur Karki Commission report that investigated the use of force against the Gen Z protesters. The voters who rallied behind Balen Shah and the RSP have also called for greater transparency and swift accountability for those responsible.
