Nepal's 'Gen Z' protesters require former chief justness Sushila Karki as the lag undercoat government minister, the secretary of the Supreme Court Bar Association who was consulted by the protesters, told news agency Reuters on Wednesday.
At 73, she is far from the generation that led the protests — age criterion of participation in the street stir was purportedly set at 28 — but an image largely free of politicking becomes a big positive amid anger towards an entrenched ruling class deemed corrupt and immoral.
Her husband Durga Prasad Subedi was a youth wing leader in the Nepali Congress, while she has remained non-political in the sense of party affiliation.
She rose through the ranks, from being a lawyer and a regional judge to the post of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal eight years ago, making her the only woman so far in the Himalayan country to hold that top office.
It was KP Sharma Oli as PM — he resigned after violent protest sparked by a social media ban — who technically okayed her elevation as CJ. She now emerges as the top choice to succeed him.
