Nepal Appoints First Female PM Amidst Political Upheaval
Sushila Karki, Nepal’s former Chief Justice, has been sworn in as the interim Prime Minister, becoming the first woman to hold the position in the country’s history. The oath of office was administered by President Ramchandra Paudel following the dissolution of Parliament and the resignation of the former Prime Minister amid anti-corruption protests. Karki is highly regarded for her integrity and judicial independence, and she served as Chief Justice from 2016 to 2017. Her appointment comes with the support of the Gen-Z movement and will be closely observed during Nepal’s transitional period.
