In Nepal, 35-year-old former rapper Balendra Shah is set to become the country’s next prime minister after his party secured a landslide victory in parliamentary elections. It’s the first election since youth protesters toppled the former government. Shah is the former mayor of Kathmandu. He was a leader of the Gen Z-led protest movement, which was sparked by a ban on social media and driven by a lack of economic opportunities.
