The Gen-Z leader believes his party is ready to govern the country. Volunteers have already begun forming committees nationwide, and he emphasized that his party is working to listen to every Nepali citizen.
He clarified that they plan to contest the elections as a political party, not as independent candidates. Gurung explained that running independently would not harness the collective strength of youth together, they are stronger.
