On April 2, 2026, Nepal's newly elected government, led by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), held its first parliamentary session. This election, a response to widespread youth discontent due to corruption and lack of opportunities, marks a significant shift in the nation's political landscape. The RSP aims to tackle pressing issues, including youth unemployment, which currently stands at 20.6%, the highest in South and Southeast Asia. Approximately 1,500 young Nepalis migrate abroad for work each day, highlighting the urgent need for domestic job creation. The government has committed to a series of reforms, including investigating the assets of public officials since 1990 and restructuring bureaucratic processes to ensure accountability. In foreign policy, the RSP seeks to balance relations with India and China while addressing the ongoing Gulf crisis that affects 1.9 million Nepali migrant workers. The government has set ambitious economic goals, including becoming a $100 billion economy within five years and maintaining a sustained GDP growth rate of around 8% annually. As the RSP begins its term, the focus will be on translating electoral momentum into effective governance amid significant challenges.
