As for the Deputy Speakers of the National Assembly, four-term lawmakers Lee Hak-yeong, Min Hong-chul, and Nam In-soon have also thrown their hats into the ring.’, <br />, <br />, ‘Under the National Assembly Law, the National Assembly Speaker is elected through an anonymous vote in the National Assembly, and the candidate with the majority of votes from the present members is elected. As the Democratic Party holds 171 seats in the 22nd National Assembly, more than half, the internal election of the Democratic Party is practically the same as the election of the National Assembly Speaker.’, <br />, <br />, ‘For the Deputy Speakers of the National Assembly, they are elected through an anonymous vote in the plenary session of the National Assembly, with two being selected by the majority of votes from the present members. Therefore, in the case of the 22nd National Assembly, where there are two negotiating parties (Democratic Party and People Power Party), each party nominates one candidate from the majority party and the minority party to occupy one seat each.’, ‘article_split’, <br />,</p>
