The 11th edition of The Diplomat reported that the Z Generation movement in Nepal has significantly weakened the dominance of the country's top three parties, and the issue of leadership turnover within the parties has sparked divisions. On September 8, a Z Generation protest erupted in Nepal, completely rejecting "elite-led old parties" and demanding that veteran leaders such as Deuba (Arzu Rana Deuba) of the Nepali Congress, Oli (KP Sharma Oli) of the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist Leninist), and Prachanda (Pushpa Kamal Dahal) of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) to step down from politics. In response, both Oli and Prachanda denied the possibility of stepping down from politics. However, the Nepali Congress party has seen internal divisions over the issue of leadership turnover, adding more uncertainty about whether the party congress can be held before the election. Young forces represented by Tapa (Gagan Thapa) and Sharma (Bishwo Prakash Sharma) of the Nepali Congress have advocated for an early holding of the party congress to elect a new leadership and have called for greater decision-making power for youth. This proposal has received majority support within the party. However, the party chairman Deuba (Sher Bahadur Deuba) initially expressed willingness to hand over power but later changed his stance and used the party charter's provisions on the centralized power of the chairman to hinder the reform process. Analysts believe that as a traditional liberal establishment force in Nepal, the success or failure of internal reforms in the Nepali Congress will directly affect the results of the March general election. If the party runs under the current leadership, it may suffer significant losses.
