HCRI academic discusses the Nepalese elections with Times Radio

Dr Nimesh Dhungana spoke with Times Radio about the parliamentary elections in Nepal following last year’s youth protests, and its implications for the country’s democratic transition and development.

On Thursday, 5 March, Dr Nimesh Dhungana spoke with Jane Garvey and Fi Glower for the Times Radio afternoon show (from 38:25) about the parliamentary elections in Nepal. The 275 seat poll will chart the country’s path after last year’s youth-led anti-corruption protests toppled the government.

Dr Dhungana is a Lecturer in Disasters and Global Health at the University of Manchester’s Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (HCRI).
