Nepal Parliamentary Elections: Interim PM Sushila Karki Casts Her Vote
Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki checks her name on the voter list before casting 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 country's first female prime minister leading the interim government, participates in the vote amid tight security and political tensions. The elections follow 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 injured.
