Christians in Nepal are anxious as they look at the results of the March 5 elections. Yet, many remain hopeful that the new government will value religious freedom and provide security against threats from extremist groups. This anxiety is rooted in recent history: Nepal’s small Christian minority has faced targeting under anti-conversion laws and suffered intimidation and violence from extremists. In this political climate, Nepal held general elections on March 5 to elect 275 members of the House of Representatives.
