In Nepal, prime ministerial candidate Sushila Karki has made her first public statement, expressing readiness to work for the nation’s welfare during this challenging period. She emphasized the need for all Nepalis to unite and prioritize the country’s interests, urging cooperation across all sectors. Karki has shown willingness to take on the role of interim Prime Minister if appointed. However, before officially assuming office, she must secure approval from Nepal’s army chief and President Ramchandra Poudel. Meanwhile, other candidates, including former Nepal Electricity Authority director Pulman Singh, are also being considered for the post. The political scenario remains complex, with multiple theories and discussions surrounding Nepal’s power transition. Karki’s acceptance signals a potential path forward, but significant hurdles remain in consolidating support from various factions and agencies.
