KATHMANDU:- Prime Minister Sushila Karki has made it clear that holding election to the House of Representatives (HoR) on March 5, 2026 is the sole and non-negotiable mandate of the government.
At a diplomatic briefing to the Diplomatic Corp in Kathmandu held today at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, PM Karki, who also looks after the Foreign Ministry, emphasized that the mandate of the government is “to hold free, fair, and impartial general elections to the House of Representatives on March 5, 2026”.
“We are committed to a maximum six-month term, after which we will peacefully hand over power to a democratically elected government,” she said.
She termed the Gen-Z movement as a powerful reminder for collective responsibility to listen, respond, reform and deliver.
“It also reflects people’s profound aspiration for good governance, economic opportunity and integrity in public life. While our achievements since the adoption of the new constitution are modest, this movement has warned us that there is no room for complacency. We must rededicate ourselves to deliver to our people for their legitimate aspirations,” she said.
