Nepal has sworn in former chief justice Sushila Karki as interim Prime Minister after weeks of Gen Z-led protests rocked the nation, leaving multiple dead and hundreds injured. President Ramchandra Paudel administered the oath at Sheetal Niwas, mandating elections within six months. Karki, who made history in 2016 as Nepal’s first female chief justice, replaces a government ousted amid public fury over corruption, nepotism, and a controversial social media ban. Protesters torched parliament and government buildings in Kathmandu, forcing troop deployment. Rival contender Mayor Balendra “Balen” Shah, a rapper-turned-politician, was also considered for interim leadership. Watch
