Nepal's former chief justice Sushila Karki, Kathmandu mayor Balendra Shah and former electricity board Kulman Ghising are among the names under consideration by the protesting Gen Z group to lead an interim government in Nepal, source said on Wednesday.
The development comes a day after Nepal plunged into a serious political crisis as Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday in the face of massive students-led protests for a second day, prompting the Nepal Army to take over the law and order situation followed by nationwide restrictive orders and a curfew on Wednesday.
"The Gen Z group is currently holding discussion on Zoom to finalise the name of the person to lead the interim government. Three names are under consideration for the post of Interim Prime Minister," according to the sources close to Gen Z group.
"The group is considering Sushila Karki, former Chief Justice; Balendra Shah, Mayor of Kathmandu, and Kulman Ghising, former CEO of Nepal Electricity Board. However, so far, no decision has been finalised," sources said. -- PTI
