Karki, Nepal’s first woman chief justice, promised to lead only for six months. She pledged to restore stability, prepare for elections, and address the demands of young protesters who spearheaded the movement.

On Monday, Karki expanded her cabinet at the presidential residence, Sheetal Niwas, in Kathmandu. Kulman Ghising took charge of energy, urban development, and infrastructure. Om Prakash Aryal assumed responsibility for law and home affairs, while Rameshwor Khanal became finance minister.

Analysts see the cabinet expansion as a step toward stronger governance during Nepal’s transition. The interim government faces major challenges such as economic recovery and administrative reform. Citizens are watching closely to see whether Karki and her team can stabilize the country and ensure free elections within the promised timeframe.
