""We have to work according to the thinking of the Gen Z generation," said Sushila Karki, in her first public comments since taking office on Friday. "What this group is demanding is end of corruption, good governance and economic equality," she added. "You and I have to be determined to fulfil that." Activists had used the Discord app to name Karki as their choice of leader, a process Karki acknowledged."
""The situation that I have come in, I have not wished to come here. My name was brought from the streets," Karki said. The interim leader said she would not remain in the position long and promised to hand power to the next government. "We will not stay here more than six months in any situation, we will complete our responsibilities and pledge to hand over to the next parliament and ministers," she added, in a national address."
Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki called for calm and cooperation to rebuild Nepal after deadly anti-corruption protests left at least 72 people dead and 191 injured. She pledged to follow Gen Z protesters' demands for an end to corruption, good governance, and economic equality. Activists used the Discord app to nominate her, which she acknowledged, saying her name was brought from the streets and she did not seek the role. Karki promised a short interim tenure of no more than six months and pledged to hand power to the next elected government. President Ram Chandra Poudel dissolved parliament and scheduled elections for March 5.
