Nepal gets first female PM after deadly unrest

by Sanjaya Dhakal, BBC Nepali, Kathmandu and Jaroslav Lukiv, London

"Nepal's former Supreme Court chief justice #SushilaKarki has become the country's interim prime minister after deadly #AntiCorruption protests ousted the government.

"The 73-year-old was sworn in during a brief ceremony, becoming the first woman to lead the impoverished Himalayan nation after a deal was reached with protest leaders.
More than 50 people were killed in clashes with riot police during this week's mass protests sparked by a ban on social media platforms.

"The ban was lifted on Monday - but by then protests had swelled into a mass movement. Angry crowds set fire to parliament and government buildings in the capital Kathmandu on Tuesday, forcing Prime Minister #KPSharmaOli to resign.

"Earlier on Friday, President Ram Chandra Poudel's press adviser had confirmed to the BBC that Karki would take the oath of office that evening.

"The agreement between the president and the protest leaders was reached after days of consultations. Legal experts were also involved.

"Parliament was dissolved late on Friday and it was announced that general elections would be held on 5 March next year.

"Karki is expected to appoint ministers to her cabinet within a few days.

"She is widely regarded as having a clean image, and her leadership of the interim government is being supported by student leaders from the so-called #GenZMovement."
