Kathmandu, September 8, 2026 — Ujyaalo Nepal Party Chairman Kulman Ghising has said the current government has failed to deliver the changes expected from the Gen-Z movement, despite commanding a near two-thirds majority.
In a statement issued on the first anniversary of the Gen-Z uprising, Ghising said the government had not achieved the momentum expected from an administration formed with a strong parliamentary mandate.
Paying tribute to those who lost their lives during the movement, Ghising also wished for the speedy recovery of those injured. He said the Gen-Z movement should not be understood simply as an effort to change the government, but as an expression of a generation’s demand for a better political culture, effective governance and the rule of law.
Ghising acknowledged that the government formed after the movement held the House of Representatives election on March 5, helping return the country’s politics to the democratic process. However, he said the fundamental issues raised by the movement remained unresolved.
“While there have been some positive efforts in the area of good governance, the original questions raised by the movement remain unchanged,” he said.
According to Ghising, little progress has been made in making the constitution, governance system and state structure more responsive to citizens. He also criticized the government over what he described as insufficient progress in establishing zero tolerance for corruption and creating employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
The CIAA filed 175 corruption cases against 990 people in fiscal 2025/26, seeking Rs 25.23 billion, while handling around 40,000 complaints received and carried forward.

Criticizing the government's style of working, Ghising said speeches, declarations and political slogans were no longer sufficient to meet public expectations.
“The change the people are seeking is not just about the individuals in power, but a change in the system and the way things are done,” he said.
The Ujyaalo Nepal Party said it would continue monitoring the government and exercising oversight while maintaining constructive pressure on its actions.
Ghising further said the sacrifices made during the Gen-Z movement should not remain merely a part of history. Instead, he said, the movement’s principles should guide the functioning of the state and the country’s approach to governance.
