Review of the Speaker of Parliament Election Process
November 12, 2025
The Rules Committee is discussing changes to the election process for the Speaker of Parliament. Among the proposals is simplifying the process to avoid a third round of voting. The requirement for an absolute majority in the first round will remain, and if no winner emerges, voting will be repeated between the two leading candidates. The process will be public, and the possibility of electronic voting is being considered. Many parties support the changes, but there are issues that need further discussion.
