Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli Resigns Amid Youth-Led Uprising and Military Pressure
Kathmandu, Nepal — In a dramatic turn of events, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has officially stepped down from office following mounting pressure from Nepal’s Army Chief and a wave of nationwide protests spearheaded by Gen Z activists.
The protests, which erupted in response to government corruption and digital restrictions, have galvanised thousands of young Nepalis demanding transparency, accountability, and democratic reform.
Organised largely through social media platforms, the movement has grown rapidly, culminating in violent clashes that claimed at least 20 lives.
Oli’s resignation follows the earlier departure of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, signalling a broader political shake-up. Sources close to the administration report that Oli is seeking safe passage out of the country amid fears of escalating unrest.
Nepal now faces a critical juncture, with economic instability and public distrust in institutions threatening to deepen. Political analysts suggest that this Gen Z-led uprising could reshape governance models across South Asia, marking a new era of youth-driven activism.
