Shekhar Koirala slams NC leadership for not demanding deputy speaker election

Nepali Congress (NC) central member Shekhar Koirala has slammed the party leadership for demanding spoils in constitutional appointments instead of demanding election for deputy speaker.

The post is vacant since Shiva Maya Tumbahangphe resigned on January 19. Tumbahangphe has since been appointed law minister. Ruling CPN has not showed interest to fill the vacant position as it should go to another party as per the Constitution.
