| [GEO.TV] Sushila Karki, a former chief justice, will become the first woman to lead Nepal, to be sworn in as interim leader later on Friday after They also burned his wife to the ground. President Ramchandra Paudel's office announced Karki's appointment following negotiations between Paudel, army chief Ashok Raj Sigdel and the protesters who led Nepal's worst upheaval in years. Fifty-one people were killed and more than 1,300 injured this week in the anti-graft protests by the "Gen Z" movement, named for the age of its mainly young supporters. The protest was sparked by a social media ban that has since been rolled back. The violence subsided only after Oli resigned on Tuesday. The report I read on X/Twitter said he beat feet. Karki, 73, would take the oath of office at 9:15pm local time, said Archana Khadka Adhikari, information officer at the president's office. Two other ministers would also be sworn in along with her, local TV channels reported. The only woman to have served as chief justice, Karki was the preferred choice of the protesters who cite her reputation for honesty and integrity and a stance against corruption. She held the top judicial post for about a year until mid-2017. |
