Sushila Karki

Sushila Karki (born 7 June 1952) is a Nepalese jurist, author, and politician who has been the interim Prime Minister of Nepal since 12 September 2025. She is the first woman in Nepal's history to hold the position.

Prime Minister
After the 2025 Generation Z-led anti-corruption protests forced Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli to resign, an interim government was needed and Karki's name was recommended by some activists because of her political neutrality. After a poll on Discord, protester server members picked Karki out of five options. The appointment was supported by the Nepalese army. On 12 September 2025, the Federal Parliament of Nepal was dissolved and Karki was sworn in as interim Prime Minister.

Personal life
Karki is married to Durga Prasad Subedi, a member and youth wing leader of Nepali Congress. They met while studying in Banaras Hindu University. They have at least one child.
