Balendra Shah, Kathmandu's popular mayor known as Balen, has endorsed former Chief Justice Sushila Karki to lead Nepal's interim government following KP Sharma Oli's resignation amid deadly Gen-Z protests. The rapper-turned-politician urged protesters to remain patient and avoid rushing government formation. Over 30 people died and 500 were injured during violent demonstrations that erupted over social media bans and corruption allegations. The Army has assumed control to maintain order while prohibitory measures prevent further violence. Protesters torched government buildings and parliament before Oli stepped down. Shah emphasized the need for mature leadership and warned political aspirants against hasty power grabs, calling this Nepal's path toward a "golden future." (PC: X)
