Nepal Elections: New Govt Will Be Unstable and Won’t Last Long; Sushila Karki’s Govt a Failure

Nepal's new government is likely to be unstable and may not last for long; Sushila Karki's interim administration is a failure: Yubaraj Ghimire, Editor, Desh Sanchar.com, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. ......................................... One of Nepal’s better known political analysts, the Editor of Desh Sanchar.com, says that the new government that will be elected by the polls to be held on the 5th of March is likely to be unstable and won’t last long. Yubaraj Ghimire also says that the interim administration under former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has been a failure and did not live up to the high expectation people had of it when it took over in September 2025. Mr. Ghimire says the final result of the elections to be held on the 5th may not be known for a month because Nepal has a hybrid system where 165 seats are chosen directly and the remaining 110 by proportional representation. It’s the proportional representation part that could take time to be finalized. Therefore, the new government may not take over till the end of March or even early April.
