PM Karki calls for young, honest leadership to replace old political mindset



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has urged voters to elect new, young and honest representatives to Parliament, saying the country can no longer be run with an outdated political mindset and working style.

Speaking during a meeting with a delegation of Nepal Tamang Ghedung on Friday, Prime Minister Karki said meaningful change in governance is only possible if fresh and credible leadership emerges through elections.

“The country can no longer be run with an old mindset or outdated style,” she said. “New faces must come in, youth must come in, and honest leadership must emerge. Governance should reflect the sentiments and aspirations of the younger generation.”

Prime Minister Karki stressed that the upcoming elections should serve as an opportunity to transform the country’s political culture by prioritizing integrity, energy and accountability over traditional power structures.

She said the growing aspirations of young people demand a new approach to governance and leadership, adding that voters now have a crucial role in shaping the future direction of the country through their choices at the ballot box.
