Nepal: Sushila Karki made history as she became Nepal’s first female Chief Justice, serving in the role from July 2016 to June 2017.
Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, who has been proposed by the Gen-G youth to lead the interim government of Nepal, on Thursday said that she is ready to work in the national interest. She also said that she is overwhelmed by the trust that the Nepalese youth have shown in her. The 71-year-old Karki said, “Gen-G Group has trusted me to lead the government for a short period of time. I am ready to work in the national interest.”
Gen Z representatives to meet Army Chief
According to the available information, the Gen-G youth representatives will meet Army Chief for the leadership of the interim government.
The Gen-G representatives have finalised the name of former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as the new Prime Minister of the interim government. Although there is still some contradiction in this, it is being said that before the meeting with the Army Chief begins, a consensus will be reached on this name among the Gen-G agitators and then it will be formalised after discussion with the Army Chief.
