00:00The Rastriya Swatantra Party in Nepal, led by Balendra Shah, has secured a sweeping majority,
00:07capping one of the most dramatic elections in the country's recent history
00:11after a Gen Z-led anti-corruption protest in 2025.
00:15The party won 182 seats in the 275-member lower house,
00:21putting Balendra on track to become the country's next prime minister.
00:25Nepalese political analyst Tula Narayan Shah says Balendra's victory reflects a generational shift in Nepal's political landscape.
01:06At the top of Balendra's agenda, transparency in governance, economic growth and boosting employment among the youth.
01:14Despite the strong mandate, governing Nepal has often proven more difficult than winning power.
01:19The country has seen fragile coalitions in recent years, with political infighting often stalling reform efforts.
01:26Tula said maintaining unity within his own party would be crucial for Balendra's success.
01:32The stability of countries depends on the stability of parliament, the stability of government.
01:38And the stability of government depends on the party, intra-party things, relation between the leaders, top leaders.
01:48The history of the Nepali politics shows that it is not so easy.
01:53So I think the biggest challenge with Balendra will be to maintain the harmonious relation between the top leaders in
02:03the parties.
02:04And then maybe the, I think the other part of the, they think they have to, they have to amend
02:10the constitutional provisions and many other things to, to deliver what they promised in the manifesto.
02:19So these are the second part. I think the first part is the intra-party conflict.
