Nepal Elections 2026: 18 Million People Registered To Vote

Nepal votes on 5 March in a high-stakes general election following the deadly 2025 anti-corruption uprising that toppled the government. With 275 lawmakers to be elected under a mixed system, rapper-turned-mayor Balendra Shah seeks to ride a youth wave, while four-time prime minister KP Sharma Oli eyes a comeback. Political instability continues to shadow the republic, which has seen 32 governments since 1990 and no full five-year term completed.
