At age 73, the former Chief Justice now leads the nation in a moment of political turmoil, following mass “Gen Z” protests that ousted her predecessor. 🇳🇵 Explore: her legal and judicial background, including her time as the first female Chief Justice of Nepal the circumstances surrounding her appointment and the role of youth protests in shaping it the challenges she now faces in stabilizing Nepal, tackling corruption, guiding toward elections, and balancing power in a fractious context what her tenure might mean for Nepal’s democracy, gender politics, and institutional reform Tune in to get my take on whether Karki can navigate this interim role with integrity, how much real power she may wield, and what to watch for as Nepal heads toward elections in March 2026.
