Art. 88 · Part 8

Speaker and Deputy Speaker

सभामुख र उपसभामुख
Original Text

The HoR shall elect a Speaker and Deputy Speaker from among its members. They shall not belong to the same party. The Speaker presides over sessions and maintains order.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The HoR elects a Speaker (chairman) and Deputy Speaker from its own members. Key rule: they CANNOT be from the same party — this ensures at least some bipartisan representation in house leadership. The Speaker is powerful: controls the agenda, recognizes speakers, maintains order, and casts deciding votes in ties.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

सभामुख र उपसभामुख प्रतिनिधि सभाका सदस्यहरूबाट निर्वाचित। दुवै एउटै दलबाट हुन पाउँदैनन्।

✅ Strengths

Different-party rule for Speaker/Deputy Speaker ensures cross-party house management.

⚠️ Concerns

Speaker\'s role has been politicized — accused of partisan rulings on no-confidence motions and floor crossings.
