The newly appointed Prime Minister of Nepal says he will be in office for no more than six months.

“I did not want this job. It was after votes from the streets that I was forced to accept,” said Sushila Karki, speaking for the first time since he swore on Friday. She said she would surrender the new government, which will appear after the March 5 election next year.

Her appointment comes after more than 70 people were killed during protests against corruption that canceled Nepal’s government.

Kuki was sworn in after an agreement with protesters leaders from the so -called Gen Z movement.

“We have to work according to the thinking of the Gen Z generation,” she said.

“What this group requires is the end of corruption, good governance and economic equality.”

The mass protests caused by a ban on social media platforms began on September 8 and for two days descended into chaos and violence, during which the homes of politicians were vandalized and the parliament was set on fire.

The death issue has already reached 72, including three police officers, officials say.

“He is ashamed. If they were not naked, who destroyed these basic structures, how they could be called Nepalis,” said the temporary prime minister on Sunday.

Kuki, a former chief judge of the Supreme Court, is considered a pure image.

But she was not free from dispute after colliding with an incident with impeachment during her almost 11-month term as a chief judge.

Now Karki and her office will face many challenges, including the restoration of the law and order, the restoration of parliament and other key buildings that have been attacked, in addition to calming the Gen Z protesters who want change – and others in Nepal who are afraid of his young democracy and constitutional order.
