In a historic move, Nepal’s former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has stepped into the role of interim prime minister, marking a new chapter for the Himalayan nation. 🌄 The 73-year-old trailblazer—the first and only woman to lead Nepal’s Supreme Court—was sworn in Friday after days of political negotiations.
Karki’s appointment follows the resignation of former PM KP Sharma Oli, with protests by major political groups prompting a deal to stabilize the country. Her interim government now faces a critical mission: organizing a general election by March 2026. 📅
President Ram Chandra Poudel officiated the ceremony, attended by foreign diplomats, as Karki temporarily assumes control of all ministries. The dissolved House of Representatives leaves her government tasked with bridging political divides and ensuring fair elections. 🤝
Analysts call this a pivotal moment for Nepal’s democracy, with Karki’s judicial expertise expected to play a key role. 🧑⚖️ Her leadership could also inspire young women across Asia, proving glass ceilings can shatter—even in traditionally male-dominated spheres.
