Newly elected Speaker Dol Prasad (DP) Aryal has taken the oath of office.
President Ram Chandra Paudel administered the oath to Speaker Aryal during a ceremony organized on Sunday at Sheetal Niwas.
Aryal was elected unopposed as the speaker in a meeting of the House of Representatives earlier on Sunday.
He is the vice-president of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and an elected member of Parliament from Kathmandu-9.
Following his election as speaker, Aryal will be required to leave the RSP. As the position of speaker is inherently impartial, it is customary to resign from all political party memberships upon taking the role.
