KATHMANDU: Nepal's rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah will go into a head-to-head election battle with the veteran prime minister he helped unseat, as he champions youth demands that toppled last year's government.
The 35-year-old resigned last week as mayor of Kathmandu to contest general elections, announcing Tuesday (Jan 20) that he will directly challenge ousted prime minister K. P. Sharma Oli by running in the same constituency.
