NEPAL: Nepal is facing a major political crisis after the Supreme Court issued a show-cause notice to the interim government led by former Chief Justice Sushila Karki. Her appointment and the dissolution of Parliament—initiated by President Ramchandra Paudel—are being challenged by KP Sharma Oli’s CPN-UML party as unconstitutional. The turmoil began after violent Gen Z–led protests over corruption and social media issues resulted in 76 deaths, leading to Oli’s removal. The UML demands the reinstatement of the dissolved House, calling the current administration illegal, while new elections are scheduled for March 5, 2026.
- Lord, guide Nepal’s leaders, judges, and political parties with wisdom and integrity. May truth prevail, justice be upheld, and constitutional order restored so the nation may find stability and peace (The Holy Bible, Psalm 37:28).
- Father, bring comfort to the grieving in Nepal and healing to all affected by the violence. Protect the nation from further unrest, and let peace, unity, and reconciliation guide its people as they move toward new elections (The Holy Bible, Psalm 147:14).
