Kathmandu: Nepal's former chief justice Sushila Karki will become the next prime minister, and be sworn in later on Friday, the president's office said, after deadly protests ousted the government.
"President Ram Chandra Paudel will appoint former chief justice Sushila Karki as the prime minister," presidential press adviser Kiran Pokharel said in a statement. "Karki is scheduled to be sworn in as prime minister at 9:00 pm (1515 GMT)."
