Big news from Nepal! 🎉 Former chief justice Sushila Karki has just been sworn in as the interim prime minister of the country. This historic move comes after KP Sharma Oli stepped down on Tuesday, making way for a new chapter in Nepali politics.
President Ram Chandra Poudel tapped Karki for the top job, and she officially took office in a ceremony surrounded by foreign envoys and key officials. At 73 years old, she’s not only breaking records as the first woman to lead Nepal’s Supreme Court, but now she’s leading the interim government – wow! 💪
With all ministries under her watch, Karki’s main task is clear: organize a general election within six months. In fact, the House of Representatives was dissolved at 11 p.m. Friday, setting the election date for March 5, 2026. The countdown is on! ⏰🗳️
This leadership shakeup followed widespread protests across Kathmandu and beyond on September 8 and 9. After major parties and groups reached a deal, Karki’s appointment sealed the deal for a smoother transition – and a fresh start for Nepal.
For news enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and travelers alike, keep your eyes on Nepal. This interim phase is a crucial time for democratic progress in the heart of the Himalayas. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌄
