Sushila Karki, renowned for her fierce anti-corruption stance as Nepal’s ex-chief judge, has been sworn in as the country’s new Prime Minister, becoming the first woman to hold the position. Her rise comes on the heels of widespread protests led by Nepal’s Gen Z demanding political reform and accountability.
In a bold first move, Karki dissolved the Parliament, signaling a fresh start and her commitment to cleaning up Nepal’s political landscape. Her decisive action reflects her reputation for integrity and toughness against corruption entrenched in government institutions.
Karki’s appointment resonates deeply with younger generations pushing for change, promising renewed hope for transparency and reform. Nepal now watches closely as this trailblazing leader takes charge in a critical moment of national transformation.
