Nepal’s former Chief Justice Sushila Karki is the leading choice to be interim leader, a representative of the “Gen Z” protesters said on Thursday (September 11, 2025), after demonstrations that ousted the veteran Prime Minister.
Army chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel held “consultations with related stakeholders and held a meeting with representatives of Gen Z” on Wednesday (September 10, 2025), a military spokesperson said, referring to the loose umbrella title of the protest movement, without giving further details.
Nepal Army extended prohibitory orders in three districts of Kathmandu Valley while allowing public movement during specific windows even as the Himalayan nation gradually returned to normal after violent demonstrations forced Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli to resign.
Even as the troops continued to guard the streets, the situation remained mostly peaceful in the rest of the country except for two deaths and over a dozen injuries in Nepal army gunfire in a thwarted escape from a prison southeast of Kathmandu.
The curfew order imposed in three districts of Kathmandu valley -- Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur – was relieved from 6 am, a notice by Nepal Army said.
