Nepal: PM KP Oli resigns amid protests; What next? An intense analysis
Ram Chandra Paudel, who is the third and current President of Nepal since 2023, has been a senior leader of the Nepali Congress. He served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1994 to 1999, Deputy Prime Minister from 1999 to 2002 and Home Minister. He was also the Leader of the Opposition from 2011 to 2013.
Protests continue even after the resignation of Prime Minister KP Oli. The protesters are also demanding the dissolution of the government, which threatens to spread further instability in the country.
Nepal has changed governments 13 times since 2008. The Himalayan country is located between India and China and has been facing political instability for years.
The recent protests in Nepal are considered to be the most violent ever, even more terrible than the 2006 People's Revolution. At least 19 people were killed at that time, two years after which Parliament abolished the monarchy.

This is a very challenging time for Nepal, where governments have repeatedly collapsed due to lack of political stability. The people of the country are hoping for political reform and stability, but the current crisis has further complicated the situation.
In March, two people were killed in a clash between supporters of Nepal's former king and the police. There were massive protests in the capital Kathmandu demanding the reinstatement of the king.
The protesters entered the Parliament House and set it on fire. Parliament Secretariat spokesperson Ikram Giri said that "hundreds of people entered the Parliament area and set the main building on fire." This incident is a violent action after the resignation of the Prime Minister.
