Before the significant youth-led political movements of the previous year, CPN-UML leader KP Sharma Oli had strategically modified his party's regulations. These adjustments removed the 70-year age cap and the two-term limit for the chairmanship, allowing him to consolidate his authority. Furthermore, the exclusion of former President Bidya Devi Bhandari from party membership renewal solidified his control over the organization. These maneuvers were designed to maintain the established political hierarchy, which would have likely resulted in Sher Bahadur Deuba serving as the current Prime Minister. However, the subsequent rise of Gen Z activism disrupted these long-term political calculations, fundamentally altering the trajectory of Nepal's governance and challenging the influence of veteran political figures who had previously dominated the national landscape.
