Nepal Election 2026: Who is former mayor Balen Shah, PM Frontrunner? From Rapper, Mayor to Leader

Описание: Nepal may soon witness a historic political shift as rapper-turned-politician Balen Shah emerges as the frontrunner to become the country’s next Prime Minister. The 35-year-old, who first gained popularity through rap music criticising Nepal’s political establishment, rose to power after winning the Kathmandu mayoral election in 2022.

His surge comes after the resignation of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli following a massive youth-led uprising that left 77 people dead. Now, after Nepal’s general election on March 5, analysts believe Balen Shah is dominating the race to lead the Himalayan nation.

If he succeeds, it could reshape Nepal’s politics, long dominated by traditional parties. Balen’s popularity among young voters, his strong social media presence, and promises of economic reform have made him a powerful political force.

Will Nepal see a rapper become its next Prime Minister? Watch the full story.
