KATHMANDU: Slick AI-generated disinformation has flooded election campaigns in Nepal, which votes Thursday in the first polls since deadly protests triggered by a brief ban on social media overthrew the government.
The September 2025 protests were driven by tech-savvy youth angry at job shortages and flagrant corruption by an aging political elite.
Now parties across the political divide are tapping social media to push their agendas and woo voters, especially the young, including a surge of people registering to cast their ballot for the first time.
