Dol Prasad Aryal (DP Aryal), Vice Chair of the Rastriya Swatantra Party Nepal (RSP), has filed his nomination for the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The proposal for his candidacy has been put forward by party chair and House member Rabi Lamichhane. The proposal is supported by Finance Minister Dr Swarnim Wagle, Law Minister Sobita Gautam, and Minister for Physical Infrastructure Sunil Lamsal.

The election for the Speaker is scheduled for Chaitra 22.

The Federal Parliament Secretariat had set the time for nomination registration from 11 am to 2 pm on Friday. The final list of candidates will be published at 2:30 pm.
