Sushila Karki

India's enthusiasm for Nepal's new RSP-led government under Prime Minister Balendra Shah has rapidly declined following the government's rejection of diplomatic protocols, cancellation of Shah's planned India visit, and implementation of trade restrictions affecting Indian border towns.

Nepal's election results may impact its complex relationship with India amid protests and border disputes.

Nepal police arrested former Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli. The arrest is related to protest deaths in September. New elections resulted from the protests.

Nepal's election may not yield a majority winner, with Balendra Shah as frontrunner.

Sushila Karki, Nepal's first female chief justice, left retirement to lead the nation as prime minister. She took office after a deadly event.
