On September 12, Karki took oath as prime minister to head an interim government, bringing an end to days of political turmoil after KP Sharma Oli’s administration was forced to step down following a nationwide agitation against a social media ban.
President Ramchandra Paudel administered the oath of office to the 73-year-old leader three days after Oli resigned, capping a period of unrest described as the worst Nepal has seen in decades.According to President Paudel, the new caretaker government led by Karki has been tasked with conducting parliamentary elections within six months.
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by Nepal’s chief justice, senior government officials, security chiefs, and representatives of the diplomatic community.
