Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli

Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli is the former Prime Minister of Nepal. He recently resigned from his position following deadly Gen Z protests that occurred approximately six months prior to recent elections. He is now newsworthy due to his arrest in connection with the violent suppression of these protests, which resulted in 76 deaths and over 2,600 injuries. The arrest occurred on March 28, 2026, and also included Ramesh Lekhak, the former Minister of the Interior. This development follows the landslide election victory of Balendra Shah, a rapper-turned-politician, whose Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) secured a near two-thirds majority in parliament, signaling a significant shift in Nepalese politics driven by a reformist wave following the youth-led uprising.
