Nepal Makes History: Gen Z Elects Nation’s First Woman Prime Minister via Discord Vote

In an extraordinary first for global politics, Nepal has chosen its new Prime Minister, Sushila Karki, by a vote on Discord—an event propelled by Gen Z activism following mass protests and social media bans. With over 130,000 young citizens casting digital ballots, Karki, a revered former chief justice, now leads the nation as its first woman Prime Minister. This political “internet-native revolution” signals a new era of youth-driven democracy and technological empowerment in South Asia.
