The election of the National Assembly Principal Officers is done by senators-elect for Senators and Honourable-elect for the House of Representatives. I call them elect because it’s when they’re sworn in by their House Leader it is then, elect will be dropped from their title. The Clerk of the National Assembly  is the main actor when it comes to the election National Assembly Principal Officers. Again, when it comes to the election of the House Principal Officers, Standing Order must be followed. Why is that?  Because it is the rules that states clearly how election should be conducted.
