Kathmandu: Nepal has marked a historic milestone in its political journey as former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has been appointed the country’s first woman Prime Minister.
Karki, who earlier made history by becoming the first woman Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal in 2016, has once again broken barriers by stepping into the nation’s highest political office.
Her appointment is being hailed as a landmark moment for women’s representation in South Asia, inspiring calls for greater inclusivity in governance and public service.
Political analysts say Karki’s legal background and reputation for integrity will bring a new dimension to Nepal’s leadership, especially at a time when the nation faces pressing challenges of economic development, social justice, and political stability.
Public reactions across Nepal have been overwhelmingly positive, with many viewing this as a defining step toward gender equality in the country’s politics
