Kathmandu: In a major political development, rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah was sworn in as Nepal’s prime minister on Friday.
The 35-year-old leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party took the oath of office at the President’s Office in Sheetal Niwas at 12:34 pm. With this, Shah becomes the youngest prime minister in the country’s history and the first leader from the Madhes region to hold the post.
Earlier in the day, President Ram Chandra Paudel appointed Shah as Nepal’s 47th prime minister under Article 76(1) of the Constitution, following his party’s decisive victory in the recent elections.
Shah’s rise marks a significant shift in Nepal’s political landscape, reflecting the growing influence of youth-driven politics and a demand for change in governance.
