Sudan Gurung, the Home Minister of Nepal, announced his resignation on social media amid increasing scrutiny over his financial transactions, just weeks after taking office on an anti-corruption platform. The 38-year-old minister stated that stepping down would facilitate a fair investigation into the allegations against him. He expressed that for him, ethics are more important than his position, emphasizing the need to uphold public trust. Gurung's resignation comes in the wake of a significant Gen Z movement in Nepal advocating for good governance and accountability, which he acknowledged in his statement. His political career gained momentum following protests last year against corruption and economic struggles, which resulted in violence and numerous casualties. Gurung had previously ordered the arrest of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak for their roles in the protest crackdown. However, he soon faced allegations regarding his own assets and connections to a businessman under investigation for money laundering. His resignation has been officially confirmed by the Prime Minister’s office, marking him as the second minister to leave the government amid these controversies.
