Sushila Karki, Nepal’s first female Chief Justice, has been sworn in as the country’s first woman Prime Minister, serving as an interim leader after Gen-Z-led protests toppled the previous government. Known for her integrity and fearless stance against corruption, she emerged as the consensus choice among youth representatives, the Nepali Army, and the President. Her judicial career includes landmark contributions, and she previously faced political resistance due to her zero-tolerance approach to corruption. At 73, her appointment represents both a generational and ideological shift in Nepalese politics, symbolizing a push toward transparency, accountability, and democratic renewal in the nation.
