Nepal's Monarchy Comeback Bid: 'Bring Back The King' Chants Resurface Amid Instability

• Calls to restore Nepal's monarchy, abolished in 2008, are echoing again ahead of a high-stakes general election.
• Decades of political instability, frequent government changes, and public frustration fuel the demand for the monarchy's return.
• Thousands have protested in Kathmandu, demanding the former king's return and Nepal's reversion to a Hindu kingdom.
• The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) advocates for a constitutional monarchy, a Hindu state, and undoing federalism.
• Constitutional barriers and limited electoral support make a short-term return unlikely, but growing dissatisfaction could boost monarchist influence.
