Questions

The 100-point plan, answered

What is Nepal's 100-point action plan?+

It is the roadmap for 'delivery-based governance' adopted by the new government led by Prime Minister Balen Shah and the Rastriya Swatantra Party. Endorsed at the cabinet's first meeting and made public on 29 March 2026, the ~20-page document sets out 100 commitments — from cutting ministries and fighting corruption to justice for the September 2025 protest victims — many with deadlines of 7 to 100 days.

Who is Nepal's Prime Minister in 2026?+

Balendra 'Balen' Shah, the engineer and rapper who was mayor of Kathmandu, became Prime Minister on 27 March 2026 after the Rastriya Swatantra Party won a near two-thirds majority in the 5 March 2026 election. At 36 he is among the youngest serving heads of government in the world.

What happened in the September 2025 Gen Z protests?+

In September 2025, youth-led protests against corruption and a social-media ban swept Nepal. The violence around 9 September left many dead and brought down the KP Sharma Oli government, triggering the transition that led to the March 2026 election. The new government's plan includes a high-level inquiry into the September 9 incidents and a rehabilitation package for those affected.

How much of the 100-point plan has been done?+

Per the independent Pratipakchya tracker, of the 100 points around 29 are completed, 66 in progress, 4 delayed and 1 not yet started (as of mid-2026). The same tracker separately monitors the RSP's 250-point election manifesto.

What is the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP)?+

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP, रास्वपा) is a centrist, anti-establishment party founded in 2022. After the 2026 election it became Nepal's largest party and now leads the government, having campaigned on a '100 decisions in 100 days' model of governance.
