Nepal's House of Representatives to Elect Deputy Speaker Today
Kathmandu. The election for the Deputy Speaker is taking place today. The House of Representatives meeting scheduled for 4:00 PM today includes the selection of the Deputy Speaker on its agenda.
The contest for the Deputy Speaker position will be between Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) lawmaker Saraswati Lama and Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Ruby Kumari Thakur. Only two candidacies were filed within the designated time for registration.
Ruby Kumari's candidacy was proposed by Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Aryan Rai, with Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Ashok Kumar Chaudhary and Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Ambika Devi Niraula as seconders.
Similarly, Lama registered her candidacy with RPP parliamentary party leader Gyan Bahadur Shahi as the proposer, and fellow RPP lawmakers Khushbu Oli, Tahir Ali, and Bharat Giri as seconders.
The ruling party, RSP, holds a single-party majority in the House of Representatives. In the 275-member House, the RSP alone holds 182 votes. Therefore, it is certain that Thakur will be elected Deputy Speaker if the RSP votes for her.
