March 2026 - Current situation in Nepal
The 2026 Nepal House of Representatives election took place on March 5, 2026. A total of 275 representatives were elected. The new elections were called after protests in Nepal in 2025 successfully forced the resignation of the previous government under Khadga Prasad Oli. The Gen Z protests had primarily criticized the corruption of his government.
The election was largely peaceful. The progressive anti-corruption party RSP won decisively. With its victory, a party achieved an absolute majority in the House of Representatives for the first time since 1999. This will lead to another change of government. Since the democratization of the former monarchy of Nepal in 2008, there have already been several changes of power.
The new Prime Minister became the RSP's top candidate, Balen Shah, the former mayor of the capital Kathmandu. Beginning of New Era in Nepal....
September 2025 - Dissolution of Parliament
A blocking of several social media platforms in early September drove tens of thousands of mostly young people onto the streets in Nepal. The demonstrators also denounced the government's lack of measures to combat corruption and promote economic opportunity.
Following the violent protests, the parliament was dissolved and the former Chief Justice Sushila Karki assumed temporary government responsibility, along with an transitional government. New elections are scheduled for March 5, 2026.
Unstable conditions: Nepal has suffered from political and economic instability since the abolition of the monarchy in 2008. A lack of jobs is also forcing millions of young people to seek work abroad – for example, in the Middle East, South Korea, or Malaysia.
October 2024 - Heavy monsoon rains
In Nepal, heavy monsoon rains have led to floods and landslides, which not only have the rice harvest been destroyed, but also the livelihoods of many farmers and the local population.
After Nepal's economy slowly recovered, this happening will once again impact tourism and many jobs.
25th of April 2015 – the day that changed everything
On 25th of April 2015, Nepal was struck by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake; this was followed by another 7.3 magnitude earthquake just over a fortnight later; after that there were more than 500 aftershocks up to magnitude 5.5. More than 9600 people were killed and millions were affected.
Unfortunately, a large part of the donations was blocked by the government, so that reconstruction progressed only very slowly.
The Nepalese economy has recovered day by day over the past years, but the pandemic and many other circumstances, repeatedly has set it back again.
