Nepal is set to hold general elections on Thursday, marking the first national vote following last year’s youth-led movement that forced the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. More than 18.9 million eligible voters are expected to cast their ballots to elect 275 members of the House of Representatives (HoR). Of these, 165 seats will be filled through direct voting, contested by 3,406 candidates, while the remaining 110 seats will be allocated through proportional representation, with 3,135 candidates in the fray.
