Republica spoke to Dr Pyakurel to get his insights on the shifting political landscape ahead of the March 5 House of Representatives (HoR) elections, being held after the September 8–9 Gen Z protests that ousted the KP Oli-led government from power and paved the way for the formation of an interim government to hold fresh elections.
