Nepal Parliamentary Elections: Interim PM Sushila Karki Casts Her Vote

Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki casts her vote at a polling station during the Nepal Parliamentary Elections in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 5, 2026. Karki, the first woman to serve as Chief Justice of Nepal and the first female prime minister leading the interim government formed after the collapse of the previous administration, votes amid tight security and ongoing political tensions. The elections are called following widespread youth-led protests that topple the government of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli after deadly demonstrations that leave more than 76 people dead and many others injured. Voting takes place nationwide as Nepal seeks to restore political stability and elect members of the Federal Parliament. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
