At the commencement of the first session after each general election and at the commencement of the first session of each year, the President addresses both Houses of Parliament assembled together. Following this address, a Motion of Thanks is moved in both Houses by a Member of Parliament, usually from the ruling party, expressing gratitude to the President for their address.
The Motion of Thanks is debated and voted upon, and it is considered a sort of confidence vote in the government’s policy direction outlined by the President.
