Nepal’s interim leader Sushila Karki called for peaceful elections on Thursday (March 5, 2026), the first polls since deadly 2025 anti-corruption protests toppled the government.
“Every vote is important in determining our future,” the 73-year-old former Chief Justice, who came out of retirement to lead the South Asian nation, said in a statement.
“Thank you for your patience and understanding, for ensuring a peaceful election,” she added.
