Sushila Karki held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.
The record lists Sushila Karki as interim prime minister of Nepal since 2025.
Sushila Karki was born at Biratnagar in 1952. Her recorded nationality is Nepal. She was educated at Tribhuvan University and Mahendra Morang Adarsh Multiple Campus.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
The offices held were chief justice (2016–2017) and Prime Minister of Nepal (2025–2026).
Her political affiliation is recorded as independent politician.
Her name is attached above all to to her predecessor’s resignation. Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
That the career was made in Nepal is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Sushila Karki's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
