Nepal: protesters support Supreme Court president for interim government
Protesters in Nepal have backed the candidacy of Supreme Court President Sushila Karki to lead the technical government following the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oil.
The decision was made following an online vote on the Discord chat app. Karki, 73, who in 2016 became the first woman to hold the position of Supreme Court president, is known for her zero-tolerance approach to corruption.
