Interim Prime Minister of Nepal

• Sushila Karki has become the first woman to become the interim Prime Minister of Nepal.

• She took the oath of office at a ceremony officiated by President Ramchandra Paudel at Shital Niwas.

• Her appointment comes after former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned amid pressure from a youth-led nationwide movement.

• The movement, driven by Generation Z activists, had sought a neutral leader to guide the country through the post-secondary period.

• Karki was selected by Generation Z leaders through an online public poll conducted on the Discord platform.

• Her selection received widespread support from both youth activists and established political groups seeking stability.
