New MP Takes Parliamentary Oath to Replace Former Lawmaker in Kežmarok

Iveta Pavlíková has taken the parliamentary oath and assumed her seat in Slovakia's National Council, replacing Tomáš Šimoňák whose mandate has expired. The transition occurred during a session in Kežmarok, a town in northeastern Slovakia. The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, operates under rules that allow replacement members to fill vacant seats when sitting MPs lose their mandates through resignation, disqualification, or other circumstances that terminate their legislative tenure.
