100 Days Gone, Election Now the Test

The Sushila Karki government has completed 100 days in office with a lot on its plate and big hopes from the public. The Karki government was formed on the strength of the Gen Z protests that had rocked the country in September. PM Karki's first and foremost job was to get things under control and bring back order while still listening to the Gen Z youths and others, who put her into office. Also, the government took over with no parliament and only six months to hold elections. Now, while discharging its day-to-day affairs successfully, the government is effortful to fulfill the mandate it received. Besides maintaining law and order effectively and starting reconstruction of the damaged properties, the Karki administration must hold the March election successfully. Even though things are not as simple as many have thought due to difficulties posed by political groups, the Karki government is still moving forward with election preparations. The security plans are now ready, as several units for the March 5 general election are up and running inside the security teams. They have also started meetings to coordinate things regionally. The Election Commission got a budget of Rs 6.73 billion. Even after setting the election date, they registered 837,000 new voters, and most of them are young.
