Nepal Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki Takes Charge as Interim Prime Minister, Latest News: Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki took charge as the interim Prime Minister of Nepal on Sunday, ANI reported. She has now become the first woman Prime Minister of Nepal.

She was sworn in as the interim Prime Minister on Friday, following historic Gen Z protests against the government over years of corruption, economic disparity, and most recently, the ban on social media platforms in the country.

Her appointment as PM came after the agitators collectively endorsed her name as their nominee for the interim position, citing her integrity and independence, ANI reported. She was chosen through a public vote held by Gen Z leaders on the online platform Discord, where she emerged as the most popular and acceptable figure—even among traditional political forces seeking stability in the country.

Nepal’s former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned from his position after the protests broke out.

Nepal’s New Cabinet

Interim PM Sushila Karki has initiated consultations with close advisors and key figures from the Gen Z movement as she prepares to finalize her cabinet, the Kathmandu Post reported.

She is reportedly forming a streamlined cabinet with no more than 15 ministries out of the existing 25, in line with calls from civil society and the Gen Z-led protest movement.

Some of the names being considered for ministerial roles include legal expert Om Prakash Aryal, former army official Balananda Sharma, retired justice Anand Mohan Bhattarai, Madhav Sundar Khadka, Asheem Man Singh Basnyat, and energy expert Kulman Ghising, the report added.

From the medical field, prominent figures such as Dr Bhagawan Koirala, Dr Sanduk Ruit, Dr Jagadish Agrawal, and Dr Pukar Chandra Shrestha are also under consideration.

At the same time, Gen Z members are holding parallel consultations, including discussions on platforms like Discord, to bring forward names of potential candidates who align with their reformist agenda.

The report added that if a consensus is reached, the cabinet could be sworn in as early as Sunday evening.

Nepal’s Parliament was formally dissolved on Friday, with fresh elections scheduled for March 5, 2026. The dissolution came just hours after Sushila Karki was sworn in as interim Prime Minister.
