  • Eligible Nepali Voters Sign-up Themselves On Electoral List For March 2026 Election, Called After Gen-Z Revolution
    DUKAS_189817747_NUR
    Eligible Nepali Voters Sign-up Themselves On Electoral List For March 2026 Election, Called After Gen-Z Revolution
    Nepali eligible voters record their biometrics at an election office in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 10, 2025, signing up on the electoral list for the election called next March. Following the issuance of the Voter Roll Act, 2016, by the Nepal President in September, the Election Commission-Nepal updates the electoral list from early October. The ordinance is issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution, based on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers. It amends Section 4(2)(2) of the Voter List Act, which bars registration after the announcement of an election date. The newly formed interim government led by Prime Minister Sushila Karki calls for elections on March 5 next year. According to the previous provision, ''once the date of election is announced, no voter registration shall be made for that election.'' This legal hurdle prevents eligible citizens, particularly youth who recently reach voting age, from being listed in the voter roll. Many young people who play a role in the political change have not yet been registered as voters despite being eligible. The ordinance is brought to address this gap and ensure broader participation in the election. After a violent protest on September 8 and 9, then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli steps down from the post, which claims the lives of 74 people. Following the change in regime, Nepali President Ramchandra Paudel, on the recommendation of youth representatives, appoints former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as Prime Minister of an interim government. Karki, who takes charge as the interim Prime Minister, also recommends dissolving the House of Representatives, one of the key demands of the agitators, giving Karki six months to conduct parliamentary elections.

    Perilous Condition Of Nepal Highway Continues One Week After Heavy Downpour In 2025
    Nepali travelers walk across the cliffs as they navigate the flooded section of the BP Highway in Kavrepalanchowk district, Nepal, on October 9, 2025. Various sections of the BP Highway, built with Japanese assistance, are swept by the floods of 2024. Within weeks of the disaster, the highway is brought back into operation by setting up diversions. The local authorities, in coordination with the central government, are again setting up diversions, but people are forced to cling to the rocks to get across the road section and catch a bus to continue their journey. One week after heavy rain batters the Himalayan nation, at least nine major highways connecting various parts of the country remain completely obstructed, according to the latest update from Nepal Police. As a result, many who leave Kathmandu Valley for their village homes for the Dashain festival face difficulties in returning to their workplaces and temporary residences.
