Nepal’s Prime Minister, K.P. Sharma Oli, stepped down on September 9, 2025, following weeks of escalating unrest. His resignation came after massive anti-corruption protests, violent clashes with security forces, and widespread outrage over a controversial ban on several social media platforms.
The demonstrations, largely driven by frustrated youth, reflected deeper grievances over corruption, economic inequality, and the widening gap between politicians and ordinary citizens. As public anger intensified and political pressure mounted, Oli ultimately resigned, citing the extraordinary situation and the need for a constitutional resolution.
