A representative of the “Gen Z” protesters said Thursday, after deadly demonstrations toppled the prime minister.
The army has imposed a curfew to restore order in the Himalayan nation of 30 million people, after the worst violence in two decades ousted the government and left parliament ablaze on Tuesday.
Army chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel held talks with key figures and “representatives of Gen Z” on Wednesday, a military spokesperson said, referring to the loose umbrella title of the protest movement. Ms. Karki, 73, an academic and Nepal’s first female Supreme Court Chief Justice, had told AFP that “experts need to come together to figure out the way forward”, and that “the parliament still stands”.
However, another group within the movement has proposed Kul Man Ghising.
Mr. Ghising, the former Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority, is widely credited with ending Nepal’s years-long power outage crisis. He was controversially ousted earlier in March this year, a move that earned the Oli government significant criticism.
