Nepal President Ram Chandra Poudel resigned from office on Tuesday following days of intense protests across the country.
The resignation came shortly after Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stepped down amid mounting pressure from youth-led demonstrations and public outrage over corruption and digital censorship.
The protests, sparked by the government’s controversial ban on social media platforms and allegations of widespread corruption, have pushed Kathmandu to the brink. Thousands of demonstrators, many from Gen Z, have taken to the streets demanding transparency, accountability, and restoration of digital freedoms.
President Poudel’s resignation marks a historic moment in Nepal’s political landscape, as both the head of state and head of government have exited under public pressure. The twin resignations signal a potential shift in governance and a reckoning for the country’s political elite.
Security forces remain on high alert as the situation continues to evolve. Observers say the youth-led movement has reshaped Nepal’s democratic discourse and may influence future leadership models.
