(HBO) - Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power, or the parliament, is set to elect its president and other key positions during an extraordinary session on October 10, local media reported on September 30.
A National Assembly session will be held in October to elect its president, vice president and secretary, and the country's president, vice president and prime minister.
Since September 18, members of the National Candidacy Commission
have been consulting with lawmakers over the potential candidates to keep with
a revised Constitution adopted on April 10.
According to a new electoral
law passed in July, the national assembly has three months (from the time the
law was enacted in July) to elect its president, vice president and secretary,
and the country's president, vice president and prime minister.
The post of prime minister is
being reinstated after four decades. Fidel castro, the late Cuban revolutionary
leader, was the last figure to serve as prime minister, a post he held until
1976 when he was elected president of the Council of State.
The national assembly is
considered Cuba's highest governing body.
