In a decisive step that shocked many, Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Poudel on Saturday issued an ordinance for the removal of 1,594 political appointees from previous years in a single stroke.
The unusual location came after earlier unrest during the Gen Z movement, which had damaged the Shital Niwas residence, leaving it unsuitable for official ceremonies.
The main challenge remains: some parties want a new prime minister appointed without dissolving parliament, while the Gen Z-led protest movement favors dissolving it.
Nepal faces chaos as talks continue between Sushila Karki and President Paudel on forming an Interim Government, with the Army moving around Kathmandu after deadly Gen Z protests.
Right now, the talks between Poudel, Karki, and the army leadership are still happening. But as the clock ticks closer to the deadline, Nepal is holding its breath.
Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Poudel has finally spoken. His statement came soon after his son, Chintan Poudel, assured to The Statesman that the President was safe and holding key meetings.
People across Nepal are asking a simple but urgent question: “Where is our president?” Citizens are calling on President Ram Chandra Poudel to address the nation directly.
