Youth protests led to a new government, but can it deliver? Jonny Dymond chairs a panel drawn from politicians and activists as they debate questions from a large audience in Kathmandu.

Now, the country is stepping into the unknown after the resounding electoral victory of a party pledged to their aims. The Rastriya Swatantra Party is only four years old and is being led into government by rapper turned politician Balendra Shah.
