Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly

The Deputy Speaker(s) of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Başkanvekilleri) serve on the Speakers Council (Turkish: Başkanlık Divanı) in the Grand National Assembly, the unicameral Parliament of the Turkish Republic. There are four Deputy Speakers, selected according to the parliamentary composition of the incumbent Parliament. Unlike the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, the Deputy Speakers are not elected by MPs. Instead, each party who has enough representation to nominate a Deputy Speaker can do so, with their nomination automatically becoming official. However, parties can also hold elections within their parliamentary groups to determine their Deputy Speaker.
