Nepal's interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki, the country's first woman to hold the position, pledged a maximum six-month tenure, stating she's "not here to taste power" but to stabilize the nation. The former Chief Justice took oath Friday after K.P. Sharma Oli resigned following deadly protests over corruption and social media bans that killed 19 people. Karki promised to recognize Gen Z protest victims as "martyrs" and investigate vandalism during demonstrations that saw Parliament, President's Office, and government buildings torched. President Ramchandra Paudel dissolved Parliament and announced fresh elections for March 5, 2025. Karki suggested the protests appeared "planned," raising conspiracy questions about the nationwide agitation.
