Nominations have been registered for the chairmanship of four thematic committees of the National Assembly. Although the election was scheduled to be held on Thursday, the nomination was unanimous after one candidate filed for each post.

Beduram Bhusal, who is also the general secretary of the Unified Socialist Party, has been nominated for the chairmanship of the Legislative Management Committee of the National Assembly, while UML’s Parvati Rawal (Dilkumari) has been nominated for the chairmanship of the National Concerns Committee.

Similarly, Maya Prasad Sharma of the Maoist Center has been nominated as the Chairman of the Delegated Management and Government Assurance Committee.

Prakash Panth of the Nepali Congress has been nominated for the chairmanship of the Sustainable Development and Good Governance Committee.

Elections are held every two years for one-third of the members of the 59-member National Assembly. The rules of the National Assembly stipulate that the committee should be reconstituted and the chairman should be changed after one-third of the members’ posts become vacant.
