After 7 years of provinces, is Upendra Yadav’s grip on Madhesh politics loosening?

If a new political party leads the province, it could improve governance, experts argue. After defeating Yadav in Saptari-2, CK Raut is growing in prominence, at least in Janakpur.

The Upendra Yadav-led Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal has continuously led the Madhesh government since the provincial governments were first set up following the 2017 elections.
