Newly appointed Prime Minister Sushila Karki assumed office amidst a program in Singhadurbar on Sunday.

The Prime Minister's office has been set up in a new building of the Ministry of Home Affairs after the building of the Prime Minister's Office was set on fire during the Gen Z protests.

Prior to assuming the office, Prime Minister Karki visited the Martyrs' Memorial in Lainchaur and laid a wreath at the statue of the martyrs.

On the recommendation of the Gen Z representatives, President Ram Chandra Poudel appointed former Chief Justice Karki as Prime Minister in line with Article 61 of the Constitution.

Prime Minister Karki is preparing to form a small Cabinet.

Earlier on Saturday, Prime Minister Karki visited various hospitals to meet the people injured during the Gen Z protests.
