JAKARTA - Nepalese President Ram Chandra Paudel has reportedly approved the appointment of former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Sushila Karki as interim prime minister.
Reported by ANTARA, Nepal News portal, reported the approval was granted after Paudel met directly with Karki and consulted with a number of experts.
The President is now looking for legal options so that Karki can be appointed without the need to dissolve parliament, a condition that usually applies if the prime ministerial candidate is not a member of the House of Representatives.
"Talks have shown progress, but a final decision has not been reached," said a lawyer familiar with the consultation process, as quoted by Nepal News.
Local media reported discussions about the formation of a temporary government taking place at military headquarters on Thursday (11/9). However, clashes broke out outside the headquarters after Karki's name emerged as a prime minister candidate.
The demonstrators group from the younger generation Gen Z actually proposed two alternative names, namely the Mayor of Kathmandu Balen Shah and the Mayor of Dhanan Harka Sampang.

Nepal's political situation has been heating up since September 4, when local authorities banned a number of large social media platforms because they had not met the registration deadline for the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. The ban was finally lifted on Monday (8/9) following a wave of protests.
The crisis worsened on Tuesday (9/9) when the masses stormed the national parliament building. Police responded by firing water cannons, tear gas, and live ammunition at protesters. Media reports say dozens of people were killed and hundreds more injured.
