# Nepal’s newly appointed interim prime minister says she will be in the post for no longer than six months. Sushila Karki said she would hand over to the new government which will emerge after elections on 5 March next year. Her appointment comes after more than 70 people were killed during anti-corruption protests which ousted the Nepal’s government. Karki took the oath of office after an agreement with protest leaders from the so-called “Gen Z” movement. The mass protests started on 8 September and were sparked by a ban on social media platforms.
