The ongoing leadership turmoil in Nepal has significantly stalled the nation’s path to stability and prosperity. Political factions, entrenched in power struggles, prioritize personal gains over public welfare, leading to fragmentation that threatens the social fabric and hinders cohesive policy-making. This division permeates all levels of governance, eroding public trust and delaying critical reforms necessary for economic development and infrastructure expansion.

Key consequences of this leadership vacuum include:

  • Stagnation in major development projects
  • Escalating social tensions among diverse ethnic groups
  • Declining foreign investment due to political unpredictability
  • Weak institutional frameworks unable to enforce rule of law
