Nepal’s interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki has disclosed that leaders of September’s Gen Z movement exerted significant pressure on her to appoint specific individuals as ministers in the interim government. Addressing the National Assembly after the dissolution of the House of Representatives, Karki said she was urged to induct figures who had earlier resigned to contest elections. She cited the appointment of Mahabir Pun, brought in by youth leader Sudan Gurung, noting that some ministers—including Kulman Ghising—were allowed to step down if they chose to run. Pun later resigned, expressing frustration over stalled legislative reforms. Appointed on September 12, 2025, after protests and KP Sharma Oli’s resignation, Karki holds a six-month mandate to govern and conduct elections by March 5, 2026, marking a historic first as Nepal’s female prime minister.
