Sushila Karki, former chief justice of Nepal, is set to make history as the country's first woman interim Prime Minister. Her appointment comes after a period of significant political unrest, including the resignation of former PM K.P. Sharma Oli and widespread Gen-Z protests against corruption and government policies. Karki, known for her strong anti-corruption stance and lack of political affiliation, was reportedly proposed by the protesters themselves. As interim leader, her primary mandate will be to address the demands of the youth movement and facilitate the conduction of fresh elections to bring stability to the nation.
