Nepal's political landscape shifts dramatically as 35-year-old Balen Shah becomes the country's youngest prime minister, marking a significant generational change in governance. Shah's Rastriya Swatantra Party secured a decisive mandate with 182 of 275 parliamentary seats in March elections, dismantling traditional political structures. The victory followed a Gen Z-led uprising that toppled the previous government amid corruption and nepotism concerns. Shah, an engineer and rapper turned politician, was sworn in at Nepal's President's Office in a ceremony blending Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Prime Minister Modi extended congratulations, signaling India's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations.
