Sushila Karki has been officially recognized as the interim Prime Minister of Nepal, following a vote on the Discord platform where she was nominated and chosen by the community. The announcement was made on September 12th, 2025, at an unspecified time within the reporting window. This development marks Karki as the first female Prime Minister of Nepal, with a quote stating, "Gen Z in Nepal are now using Discord to decide the country’s future." The Discord server, described as a de facto temporary parliament, has seen over 100,000 visitors engaging in political debates, nominations, and voting. This digital platform played a crucial role in the selection process for the country's interim leadership. This situation follows Sushila Karki's swearing-in as Prime Minister on September 12th, 2025, at 1:32 PM UTC, in Kathmandu, alongside President Ramchandra Paudel. The earlier report from September 12th, 2025, also indicated the dissolution of Nepal's parliament and the calling of new elections for March 2006, though the specific timing of that announcement was not detailed. The use of Discord for political decision-making signifies a novel approach to governance in Nepal.
