The "Printed Newspaper" reported on November 1st that the Nepalese interim government is facing dual pressures of intense political turmoil and loss of armed forces. Due to the government's cutbacks on welfare and social security, coupled with high risks and disproportionate rewards for police work, a wave of resignations has emerged in Nepal, involving 450 police officers and 550 armed police. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of political turmoil and high unemployment, the Nepalese people tend to seek employment overseas. Although the interim Prime Minister of Nepal, Sushila Karki, has promised to hold elections on March 5, 2026, to respond to the demands of the youth for governance reform, anti-corruption, and job creation, the chaos caused by the resignation wave may prevent the election from proceeding on schedule. Currently, the Nepalese government, traditional parties, and the "Generation Z" still have serious differences on core issues such as the timing of the election and the formation of the government. Specific disagreements include: the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML) accuses the dissolution of parliament of being unconstitutional; the Nepali Congress (RPP) demands the restoration of the monarchy; and most political forces, citing cold weather, hope to delay the general election. Analysts believe that if the traditional parties cannot break the "old politics" that has lasted for 17 years within five months and rebuild political consensus, the vision of "New Nepal" may once again become empty talk.
