Nepal Unrest: Nepal Considers Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as Interim Prime Minister Amidst Turmoil | ABP NEWS

<p data-start=”236″ data-end=”603″>Following recent violent unrest in Nepal, discussions have intensified around forming an interim government. Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has emerged as the leading candidate for interim Prime Minister, with broad support including from Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah. Karki has expressed her willingness to lead the interim government during this critical time. Nepal is currently under military control as the army attempts to restore order after widespread protests against corruption and poor governance shook the nation. The interim government, likely to serve a six-month term, faces two main challenges: restoring peace and organizing fresh elections. Sushila Karki, Nepal&rsquo;s first female Chief Justice, is a well-known figure who previously led the Supreme Court from 2016 to 2017. Her non-political background has drawn comparisons to Bangladesh&rsquo;s interim government model led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. The protests have severely impacted Kathmandu, with demonstrators attacking high-profile homes and hotels, including a major fire at the Hilton Hotel. The Pashupatinath Temple, a sacred Hindu site, was also targeted, prompting heightened security and a temporary closure to devotees. The situation remains tense as Nepal seeks stability under new leadership amid ongoing unrest.</p>
