Second National Assembly meeting lasts 2 minutes
The first session of the National Assembly was scheduled to continue today, April 13, as MPs failed to elect a speaker yesterday. Today, however, MPs gathered for just 2 minutes only to find out that there was nothing to vote on as there were no new nominations for the Speaker, and so promptly left.
The meeting will continue next Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. By then parliament's main political figures will have to decide who will head the National Assembly.
