Ex-Chief Justice Karki Likely To Head Caretaker Government In Nepal

KATHMANDU, Sep 12: Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki is likely to be appointed as the head of a caretaker government in Nepal, which would conduct fresh elections, addressing the demands of the agitating group, according to sources.

Talks among various stakeholders, including representatives of the Gen Z group -- which spearheaded the anti-government protests -- the Army chief, and President Ramchandra Paudel, ended inconclusively at Thursday midnight.

However, the youth-led Gen Z group proposed Karki's name for the post of new prime minister, multiple sources said. (Agencies)
