Sabita Bhandari, a senior advocate, has been appointed as the new Attorney General of Nepal, making history as the first woman to hold this prestigious position. Her appointment was made by President Ramchandra Paudel based on the recommendation of Prime Minister Sushila Karki. She succeeds Ramesh Badal in this vital constitutional role. This development is significant not only for Nepal’s judiciary but also for gender representation in the country’s governance. With its capital in Kathmandu, Nepal continues to evolve in terms of inclusivity and leadership representation, marking a milestone in its political and legal landscape.
