First session of the parliament to elect a new speaker on June 4

On June 4 at 16:00, the newly elected parliament of 56 members will hold its first plenary session. The primary agenda item is the election of the Speaker of the House. Before the vote, the members will take an oath of office, affirming their respect for the Constitution and the sovereignty of the Republic. Candidates must be proposed by another member, and their names will be listed alphabetically for a roll-call vote. An absolute majority of 29 votes is required to win in the first round. If no candidate reaches this threshold, a second round will be held between the two candidates with the most votes, where a simple majority will suffice. Tie-breaking procedures include repeat ballots followed by a public lottery if a stalemate persists. Meanwhile, political parties are initiating private negotiations to establish alliances ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
