PM Modi congratulates Sushila Karki as she makes history ??

Sushila Karki on Friday made history again, becoming Nepal’s first female executive head, leading the country’s transitional government. This remarkable achievement follows her earlier milestone in July 2016 when she became Nepal’s first woman Chief Justice, reported The Kathmandu Post.

Karki was chosen by Nepal’s Gen Z protesters who toppled PM KP Sharma Oli’s government, receiving the highest votes on Discord.

Her selection marks a rare moment of consensus in Nepali politics. Chosen through a public vote held by Gen Z leaders on the online platform Discord, she emerged as the most popular and acceptable figure—not only among the youth movement but also among traditional political forces seeking stability and credibility in a time of upheaval, according to The Kathmandu Post.

Karki aims to restore order, hold elections, and ensure Nepal’s development. She is acceptable to both youngsters and traditional political forces and is widely praised for her judicial independence.

Born on June 7, 1952, in Shankarpur, Biratnagar, Karki’s journey to national leadership has been built on decades of legal experience and an unwavering reputation for integrity. After completing her early education in Biratnagar, she earned a master’s degree from Banaras Hindu University in India, followed by a Bachelor of Laws from Tribhuvan University in 1978.

She began practising law in 1979 and, over the years, built a respected legal career, serving as president of both the Koshi Zonal Bar Association and the Biratnagar Appellate Bar, before being appointed a Supreme Court justice in 2009. In July 2016, she became Nepal’s first woman Chief Justice, known for issuing strong verdicts in high-profile corruption cases.
