Ram Chandra Poudel Appointed As The New President Of Nepal

KATHMANDU: The third president of Nepal was chosen on Thursday and is Ram Chandra Poudel of the Nepali Congress.

Poudel won the support of 214 members of parliament and 352 members of provincial assemblies as the common candidate of an eight-party coalition that includes the Nepali Congress and the CPN (Maoist Center).

Sher Bahadur Deuba, the leader of the Nepali Congress, expressed his heartfelt congratulations to Ram Candra Poudelji on his election as president.

A total of 882 people, including 332 members of parliament and 550 representatives from each of the seven provincial assemblies, will vote to elect the president.

Shaligram, a spokesperson for the Election Commission, reported that 313 members of the Federal Parliament and 518 members of provincial assemblies both voted in the presidential election.

After the nation's 2008 republican transition, Nepal has had three presidential elections.

The Manhattan Federal District Court of New York named Arun Subramanian as its first judge of Indian descent.

The promotion of Subramanian was made public by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which in the United States oversees judicial appointments.

In September 2022, US President Joe Biden announced Subramanian's nomination to serve as a judge on the Southern District Court of New York.

President Biden has now nominated 143 people for judicial vacancies, making this the twenty-sixth round.

According to a statement from the White House, this is the president's twelfth round of nominees for 2023.

Subramanian earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2001 from Case Western Reserve University and a Juris Doctor (JD) in 2004 from the esteemed Columbia Law School.

Since 2007, he has been employed with Susman Godfrey LLP in New York, where he currently holds the position of partner. More than a billion dollars have been successfully recovered by Arun for defrauded public and commercial entities.

Subramanian has also served as a law clerk for one year with the famed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was part of some of the most momentous judgements in the recent history of the US.

She was a well-liked personality in progressive circles and a tenacious supporter of minority and women's rights.

According to Susman Godfrey's official website, he also served as a law clerk for Judge Dennis Jacobs on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from 2004 to 2005 and Judge Gerard E. Lynch on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York from 2005 to 2006.
