Nepal police arrested former prime minister Khadga Prasad Oli and a former home minister over the September protests that left dozens dead, toppled the government and triggered fresh elections.
Nepal's Prime Minister Oli resigned amid widespread protests triggered by police violence and public anger over corruption and inequality, especially the perceived luxury lifestyles of 'nepo kids'—children of political elites—highlighting deep social disparities and political unrest in the country.
Khadga Prasad Oli, leader of Nepal's largest communist party, has been named the new prime minister following the collapse of the previous coalition government. Oli, a veteran politician and three-time prime minister, will lead a coalition of his Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) and the Nepali Congress party. His main challenge will be balancing Nepal's relationships with neighboring India and China.
