Nepal had a big election. A new party called RSP won. The party is only four years old. Its leader is Balen Shah. He is 35 years old and was a rapper before.
Many people in Nepal are happy. They were tired of old politicians. They think old leaders did not do a good job. Balen Shah won against a former prime minister. This was a big surprise.
But there are problems too. The new party never ran the country before. Balen was only a mayor for three years. Many young people in Nepal cannot find jobs. About 20% of young people have no work. The new government must help the economy grow and create more jobs.
