K. P. Sharma Oli in the context of "2025 Nepalese Gen Z protests"

In September 2025, large-scale anti-corruption protests and demonstrations took place across Nepal, predominantly organized by Generation Z students and young citizens. Also known as "the Gen Z protests", they began following a nationwide ban on numerous social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp, and they incorporated the public's frustration with corruption and display of wealth by government officials and their families, as well as allegations of mismanagement of public funds. The movement expanded to encompass broader issues of governance, transparency, and political accountability. The protests escalated, with police violence against children and hospitals, protests against public officials and vandalism of government and political buildings taking place throughout the country.

On 9 September 2025, Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli, along with a few government ministers, resigned. On 12 September, Sushila Karki was appointed as interim prime minister of Nepal. The protests had died down by 13 September.
