Nepal’s Rapper-Turned-Mayor Balen Shah Launches PM Campaign from Janakpur Ahead of March Polls

Описание: Nepal’s rapper-turned-mayor, Balen Shah, has officially launched his campaign for Prime Minister ahead of the March polls, starting from Janakpur. The senior leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) was greeted by enthusiastic crowds chanting “Ab ki baar Balen Sarkar” (“This time Balen Government”), signaling strong public support. Shah, who won Kathmandu’s mayoral election in 2022, is now aiming to bring his unique leadership style to the national stage.

Addressing supporters, the RSP prime ministerial candidate promised to strengthen federalism and empower provincial governments, emphasizing reform and development across Nepal’s regions. Balen Shah will be contesting against former Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli in his hometown, setting the stage for a high-profile political battle.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party, under which Shah is running, recently became Nepal’s fourth largest political force, securing 21 seats in the dissolved House of Representatives within a year of its formation. Shah’s campaign highlights a shift in Nepali politics, where a former artist and local leader is now vying for the country’s top executive post, attracting widespread media attention and public interest.
