Nepal's historic election has delivered a seismic result.
The four-year-old Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), led by rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah, has achieved a feat many thought impossible under Nepal's dual-election system: a sweeping majority.
The country's political elite have been cast aside, and entrenched power structures shattered. Perhaps the biggest symbol of this was when Shah, or Balen as he is commonly known in Nepal, defeated former prime minister KP Sharma Oli in Jhapa 5, a seat long considered a stronghold for him.
As we've travelled the country, jubilant RSP voters have told us they are tired of decades of what they perceive to be corruption and political paralysis.
"Balen represents hope for a new political culture," Jhapa-5 voter Ispa Sapkota told the BBC.
