JAKARTA - Nepalese President Ram Chandra Poudel will dissolve parliament to form a temporary government. Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Sushila Karki, was reportedly agreed as interim prime minister.
Reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Friday, September 12, the agreement to dissolve parliament and then appoint Karki as prime minister emerged after media reports said Karki refused to accept the position before parliament disbanded.
According to The Himalayan Times, President Poudel will dissolve parliament consisting of 275 seats, declare a state of emergency, and form a temporary government led by Karki.
The dissolution of parliament is in line with the demands of Generation Z protesters, according to presidential press adviser Kiran Pokharel.

The death toll included three Nepalese police officers, 21 protesters, 18 other civilians, and nine inmates, according to the police.
