Nepal is set to witness a historic political shift as Sushila Karki prepares to take oath as the country’s first woman prime minister. The appointment comes in the wake of a nationwide youth led revolt that reshaped the political landscape and forced a transition to interim leadership.
Karki, a respected former chief justice known for her strong stance on constitutional values, was chosen as a consensus candidate to lead the interim government. Her elevation marks a turning point in Nepal’s political journey, breaking long standing barriers for women in leadership roles.
The Gen Z movement that paved the way for her rise has been driven by calls for accountability, fresh governance, and stronger democratic practices. Protests across major cities pushed traditional parties to agree on a temporary arrangement until fresh elections can be organized.
Political observers say Karki’s leadership, even if transitional, holds symbolic significance. It reflects not just the demand for change but also a widening space for women and younger voices in Nepal’s governance.
Karki is expected to take oath later this week, after which she will oversee preparations for the next phase of Nepal’s democratic process.
