Nepal's History of Political Instability and Frequent Government Changes

Nepal has experienced prolonged political instability since transitioning from monarchy to democracy. After monarchic rule ended in 1951, the country faced constitutional suspensions, a 2001 palace massacre, and fluctuating governments. The 2008 abolition of the monarchy led to a republic dominated by former Maoist rebels, but frequent government changes and internal conflicts persisted. Despite a new constitution in 2015, Nepal has seen over 30 governments since 1990, with none completing a full term, reflecting ongoing political volatility ahead of upcoming elections.
