Nepal’s interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki officially assumed duties at Singha Durbar on Sunday, September 14. She reached her new office at 11 am, taking charge of the Home Ministry building, designated as the PM’s office. She stepped into the pivotal role amid political instability in the Himalayan nation and criticism from the opposition.
Karki was sworn in as Nepal’s Chief Minister following weeks of massive protests led by Gen Z over allegations of rampant corruption against former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s Government. She took oath on Saturday at Sheetal Niwas in Kathmandu, and is the first female to hold the post of Interim Prime Minister. Nepal’s Parliament was formally dissolved late Friday, September 12, 2025. Fresh elections are scheduled to be held in the country on March 5, 2026.
