Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Nepal’s new Finance Minister, began Day 1 with a principled stand—refusing salary perks, residence, car, and security. Sworn in by PM Sushila Karki, the former finance secretary is tasked with addressing youth unemployment and restoring public trust after protests shook the country this month.
On Day 4, Nepal’s interim cabinet expanded its response to the Gen Z uprising. PM Sushila Karki spoke with India’s Modi in her first diplomatic call. Home Minister Aryal pressed for diaspora voting and a “No Vote” option, Finance Minister Khanal detailed a recovery plan, and Energy Minister Ghising urged citizens at home and abroad to fund reconstruction.
On Day 3, PM Sushila Karki’s government observed a national day of mourning for Gen Z protesters killed during recent unrest, advanced compensation and state honors for victims, and reiterated that her interim tenure will not exceed six months ahead of elections planned for March 5, 2026.
Gen Z youth groups presented Prime Minister Sushila Karki with a 13-point mandate today, demanding justice for protest deaths, transparency in governance, and meaningful youth inclusion. The interim government has been asked to formalize these proposals into action as part of its reform commitment.
