Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah backs ex-CJ Sushila Karki for Nepal’s interim PM

Shah made his views public in a social media status update on Wednesday night. “I fully support the proposal that has come from you all for former chief justice Sushila Karki to lead this interim/electoral government. I want to express my heartfelt respect for your wisdom, prudence, and unity,” he wrote.

This is the translated statement Shah posted on social media:

My request to dear Gen-Z and all Nepalese,

Now the country is in a different situation that is not in history. You are taking steps towards a golden future now.

Please don’t panic at this time, be patient. Now the country is going to interim government, which will conduct new elections in the country. This interim government’s job is to conduct elections and give new mandate to the country.

This proposal from you to lead the interim/election government is full support to former Chief Justice Mr. Sushila Karki. I want to respect your understanding, discretion and unity wholeheartedly.

This is why it shows how mature y’all are.

What to say to friends who want to come in a hurry right now—your passion, your thinking, your integrity is what the country needs permanently, not temporarily. There will be elections for that. Please don’t rush.

Honourable President,

To preserve the historical revolution brought by Gen Z, please delay the interim government and disruption of Parliament.
