Government, Gen Z agreement could hinder timely elections

An agreement should be implementable. I do not think the one between the Gen Z representatives and the government will be implemented in full.

On Wednesday, the interim government and Gen Z representatives signed a 10-point agreement to give legitimacy to September’s Gen Z uprising that ousted the KP Oli government. Many points of agreement necessitate constitutional amendments, sparking debates in the legal circles. While the agreement has been hailed as the tangible blueprint for desired changes, many still question whether the agreement is implementable. The Post ’s Biken K Dawadi sat down with senior advocate, constitutional expert and former lawmaker Radheshyam Adhikari to discuss the roadblocks to the agreement’s successful implementation, the legitimacy of signing such an agreement with an interim government, the problems it can create for timely elections, and whether the Gen Z representatives focused on the right agendas while signing it.
