Deputy speaker to be chosen tomorrow
She received 166 votes.
Ninety-seven legislators, including those from the Nepali Congress and the CPN (Unified Socialist), voted versus her.
The seven-party ruling alliance partners and some independent lawmakers enacted Ranamagars favour.
As the RSP lawmaker had enough votes to get elected as deputy speaker, your house did not have to put her rival and Nepali Congress legislator Mukta Kumari Yadavs candidacy to vote, said Speaker Devraj Ghimire.
Speaker Ghimire stated Ranamagar the winner.In the 275-member HoR, 264 lawmakers existed.
According to Secretary at the Parliament Secretariat Gopalnath Yogi, Nepal Workers and Peasants Party lawmaker Prem Suwal stayed neutral throughout the ballot process and Ghimire did not need to cast his vote.Eleven legislators were absent: CPN-Maoist Centre legislator Barshaman Pun, who is going through treatment for liver disease; CPN (US) legislator Krishna Kumar Shrestha and Dhan Bahadur Budha, NC legislators Manorama Sherchan, Bina Kumari Thanet, and Sapana Rajbhandari, Rastriya Prajatantra Party legislator Dhawal Shumsher JB Rana, UML legislator Laxmi Mahato Koiri, who has been prosecuted in a criminal case; and Nepali Congress lawmaker Tek Bahadur Gurung, who was chosen from Manang, but stays suspended.Earlier, RSP lawmaker Sobita Gautam, who had proposed Ranamagars name for deputy speaker prompted all lawmakers to vote for her describing her as an appropriate candidate for the job.
She stated the legislators required to increase above the politics of battle for power and appeasement in order to accomplish goals of advancement and socio-economic transformation with originalities and approaches.UML legislator Krishna Gopal Shreshta who supported Ranamagars candidateship stated that Ranamagar, who was inspired by Parijat, had actually been devoting her life to social service and was well recognised in the national and international arena for her contribution.In an oblique recommendation to former speaker Agni Prasad Sapkotas function in the aftermath of UMLs split in August 2021, Shrestha said he expected the speaker not to aid in any partys split.
In the past, UML had implicated Sapkota of not confirming the expulsion of rebel UML lawmakers, consisting of Madhav Kumar Nepal who later on formed their own party.CPN (Unified Socialist) lawmaker Metmani Chaudhary stated that Yadav who had protected the highest number of votes among the women candidates during Nepali Congress 14th National Assembly was an ideal candidate for deputy speaker.Chaudhary took a potshot at UML Chair and previous prime minister KP Sharma Oli.
We heard misinterpretation of the constitutional provisions about the PMs right to liquify your home of Representatives.
I desire the house to run a class for those who mistakenly translate the arrangements contained in Article 42 of the 1990 constitution and provisions of Article 76 of the current constitution.These short articles provision for House dissolution.
While Oli has been saying that his relocate to liquify the HoR was right, other celebrations, consisting of CPN (US) called his move a regression.
A former prime minister, and you all know who that person is, is trying to find the right moment to shred this constitution and ditch the new political system, the republican order, as the predatory animal the tiger is constantly on the prowl, Chaudhary added.Loktantrik Samajwadi Party-Nepal legislator Sarvendranath Shukla who supported Yadavs candidateship stated the PM had promised himself to the politics of agreement, however that pledge did not last even 10 days, as a result of which, the speaker was picked through voting, which had not taken place in the last 15 years after the 2006 popular movement.RPP Chair Rajendra Lingden stated that Ranamagar who was influenced by Parijat, was from a simple background but was recognised by the country and the worldwide community for her contribution to the nation.
He said he was better than anyone else to support her candidacy.NC lawmaker Badri Prasad Pandey who supported Yadavs candidateship stated she was a suitable candidate for the task as she had actually been a member of the HoR and Natonal Assembly in the past.
He flayed UML Chair KP Sharma Olis remark that gave the impression that the high level mechanism which Oli collaborated, was above the executive.A version of this post appears in the print on January 22, 2023, of The Himalayan Times
