Tumbahangphe had earlier made a claim for the speaker’s post, reiterating to the party leadership that she had experience and qualification required for the post of speaker and she should be given a chance to contest for the same.

However, her party Nepal Communist Party (NCP), decided to nominate Agni Sapkota as a new speaker. This led to the resignation from Tumbahangphe.
