These included the Chair of the Ethnic Council, heads of National Assembly committees for the 16th tenure, the Secretary-General of the National Assembly cum Chairman of the National Assembly Office, and the State Auditor General for the 2026-2031 term.

The National Assembly then discussed and voted to approve draft resolutions to elect these positions using an electronic voting system.
