She arrived at her new office, the Home Ministry building designated as the PM’s office, at 11 am. Her assumption of this critical role comes amid political instability and opposition criticism. A meeting with the Chief Secretary and all ministry secretaries was convened in her presence to discuss the first cabinet expansion, with appointments expected to be announced that day. Following her assumption of office, Karki stated that those involved in acts of vandalism would be investigated and that her team’s focus was not on power, but on a six-month term, after which they would hand over responsibility to the new parliament. She also emphasized the need for public support. Karki announced that those who lost their lives on September 8 would be recognized as martyrs and provided with one million each, with the government covering the injured’s expenses and facilitating the transfer of bodies from Kathmandu. Karki’s appointment follows weeks of significant protests, primarily led by Gen Z, against allegations of corruption against the former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s Government. Sworn in on Saturday at Sheetal Niwas in Kathmandu, Karki is the first female to serve as Interim Prime Minister. Nepal’s Parliament was formally dissolved late Friday, September 12, 2025, and fresh elections are scheduled for March 5, 2026. Her selection came about through a public vote facilitated by Gen Z leaders on Discord, making her a key figure among the youth seeking stability in Nepal.

Karki also declared that those killed during the Gen-Z demonstrations would be declared martyrs, and their families would receive a compensation of ten lakh Nepalese rupees.

She took office at the newly constructed Home Ministry building in the Singh Durbar Secretariat in Kathmandu. Former Chief Justice of Nepal, Karki, was appointed acting Prime Minister by President Ramchandra Paudel on the recommendation of the Gen-Z group, which had ousted the K.P. Sharma Oli government through a two-day protest that concluded on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, sources in the President’s office have indicated that President Paudel, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, has appointed Kulman Ghising, Rameshwar Khanal, and Om Prakash Aryal as ministers. According to sources, Ghising will receive the Ministry of Energy, Urban Development, and Road and Transport; Khanal will receive Finance, and Aryal will receive the Home Ministry. The swearing-in of these three ministers will take place at the President’s office this afternoon.

Following the arson at the Prime Minister’s office during the violent protests last Tuesday, the government has moved the Prime Minister’s office to the newly constructed Home Ministry building in the Singh Durbar complex. Addressing a meeting of secretaries and senior government officials immediately after taking office, Prime Minister Karki stated that those involved in the violence and destruction of public and private property would be brought to justice.

She said that the arson and vandalism on the protests of September 9 were pre-planned and that the Gen-Z protesters were not involved in such activities. Karki stated that the type of arson and vandalism was a criminal act, which was carried out in a planned manner, and those responsible should be punished.

She also instructed Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal to arrange for the repair of police stations destroyed across the country. The movement, which began last Monday on social media against government restrictions, soon turned into a major campaign, reflecting public anger towards corruption and the alleged indifference of the political class.

K.P. Sharma Oli resigned after hundreds of protestors entered his office and demanded his resignation for the deaths of at least 19 people in police action during the demonstrations. Meanwhile, Chief Secretary Aryal reported that the number of deaths during the protests had risen to 72, including three police officers. He added that these included 59 protestors and 10 prisoners.

The amendment revises the consolidated revised instructions-2013, specifically clause 13 (3), related to compassionate appointments. The revised directive allows for any eligible member (male or female) of the family of a police officer martyred in Naxalite violence to be appointed to any department within the state, across any district or division, as per their preference.
