Video Description
In Nepal's imaginary 166th constituency, three fictional candidates — Siddhanta Kumar, Chatur Mani, and Bal Bahadur — are contesting the election.
But this is not an isolated case. Through this one fictional constituency, this video reveals how elections in Nepal are really fought — with promises, populism, money, fear, and strategy.
Siddhanta Kumar is a first-time independent candidate who believes in performance over promises.
Chatur Mani represents a major political party and uses reformist language while relying on populist tactics.
Bal Bahadur is a veteran leader who believes that winning matters more than how you win.
Watch the full video to understand how an election is won in Nepal.
