Nepal's political landscape shifted dramatically as Pushpakamal Dahal, known as 'Prachanda', resigned as chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre) after the party's central committee was dissolved.

This move coincides with Gen Z-led protests opposing the former government, driven by issues of corruption and internet censorship.
