Procedures for the selection of House speaker and two deputies

13 Sept 11:33 Key points summarised by AI

An interim House speaker, the most senior MP, presides over the selection process for the House speaker and two deputy speakers.
MPs nominate candidates, requiring 20 seconders, and candidates present their vision. If multiple candidates, a secret ballot determines the winner by simple majority.
The same secret voting process is applied sequentially for the selection of the first and then the second deputy speaker.
Following selection, the House secretary-general notifies the Prime Minister to seek a Royal Command from His Majesty the King for their official appointments.
