Nepal's rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah is set to become the next prime minister.
His centrist Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) won a commanding majority in the parliamentary elections held on March 5.
The elections came six months after mass protests toppled then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's government in September 2025.
At least 77 people were killed in the unrest.
Just 35, Shah rose from mayor of the capital Kathmandu to defeat veteran four-time PM Oli in his own constituency.
