Sushila Karki's decision to accept the responsibility of the Chief Executive on 27 Bhadra, when the country was in a whirlwind of unprecedented uncertainty, was a challenge in itself. The responsibility she took on was not a continuation of any regular rule. There was no previous leadership to hand over power to her, no political organization to lean on, and even the common citizen was not confident because the state machinery itself was afraid. Karki only had the immense challenge of leading the country through the crisis. By holding the election on the date announced on the day of her swearing-in, she has paved the way for a peaceful transition. This has added to her previous image as a former Chief Justice of the Hockey League and the personality of an efficient Prime Minister.

President Ram Chandra Poudel's wisdom in providing a political outlet while protecting the constitution to the maximum extent even in that terrible situation was the starting point for today's success. With the commitment of the team including Prime Minister Karki and Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal on that path, the election on Thursday was not only concluded, but also relatively peaceful. For this, the role of the Election Commission should be openly praised. Even in the absence of a full-fledged office bearer in the Election Commission, the leadership of Acting Chief Election Commissioner Ram Prasad Bhandari has shown the ability to take parties into confidence, formulate policies in a timely manner, and mobilize human resources, which has resulted in this election being more peaceful than many expected.

Kantipur Media Group is a witness to every political ups and downs since the democratic change of 2046. The country has achieved achievements from every movement and rebellion, and in some cases, our society, economy, and media sector have also suffered losses. The then government's repression of the movement of the Gen-G generation on 23 Bhadra, frustrated by the same political leadership and the same political style, has hurt Nepali society. But the infiltration under the guise of the movement and the destruction that occurred the next day have also caused irreparable damage to Nepal. The killing of 22 unarmed youths the previous day was the height of barbarity, and the looting and arson of the Parliament Building, the Presidential Palace, the Supreme Court, Singha Durbar, the Ministry of Health, media institutions, and private industries and properties the next day are also punishable crimes. The violence that has been unleashed on the offices of Kantipur Media Group and the private residences of publishers, which have been highlighting the problems in the country, was not an accidental incident. However, by handing over the responsibility of assessing it to the state machinery, Kantipur Media Group is standing firm in its professional responsibility. Therefore, the Kantipur family is excited that the elections were held even in this adverse backdrop and is optimistic about the future.
