ITAHARI: Ambar Bahadur Bista of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has been elected as the Speaker of the Koshi Province Assembly.
The meeting of the provincial assembly held on Tuesday unanimously elected Bista to the position.
RPP’s parliamentary leader Bhakti Prasad Sitaula proposed Bista’s name for the Speaker, while RPP’s assembly member Prem Raj Thamsuhang seconded the proposal.
The position had been lying vacant since the resignation of Baburam Gautam on August 1 of last year.
Thapa’s election to the position is surprising as his party is against federalism.
