Nepal to Hold Elections on March 5 Amidst Unrest
Nepal is planning to have elections on March 5th.
This comes after a lot of upset and protests in the country, which led to the former leader, K.P. Sharma Oli, stepping down.
Sushila Karki is now temporarily in charge, the first woman in the role.
The protests were about things like a ban on social media and claims of corruption.
Sadly, at least 51 people died during the protests.
The President wants everyone to work together to make the elections happen smoothly.
Some people think the President dissolving parliament was the wrong move.
Nepal will hold parliamentary elections on March 5.
The elections follow widespread protests and the resignation of K.P. Sharma Oli.
Sushila Karki is the interim Prime Minister.
At least 51 people died during the protests.
Major political parties criticize the president's decision to dissolve parliament.
