Nepal's former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has been appointed as the country's new interim prime minister, following days of deadly youth protests. Karki's appointment was announced by the office of President Ramchandra Poudel on Friday, September 12, and she was sworn into office as the country's first-ever female prime minister later that day."
"I did not come to this position because I had sought it, but because there were voices from the streets demanding that Sushila Karki should be given the responsibility, she said during her first public remarks on Sunday. Here is what we know about Karki. Following the youth-led Gen Z protests against corruption in Nepal, former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned last Tuesday. Karki was appointed on Friday to lead the transitional government until snap elections in March 2026."
