A meeting of Legislature-Parliament on Saturday will commence the election process for the appointment of new President and Vice President. The meeting has been scheduled for 3 pm.

According to the new constitution, the president and vice president should be elected within a month of constitution promulgation. However, the incumbent President Ram Baran Yadav has not yet resigned.

The House session is resuming today first time after the Dashain break. The last House meet on October 16 had elected Onsari Gharti Magar to the post of Speaker and Ganga Prasad Yadav to the post of Deputy Speaker. They were elected unopposed. 

Today’s meeting will present a timetable for the election of President and Vice President and will also appoint the Parliament Secretariat General Secretary as the election officer.
