Political career
She has been actively involved in politics for the last 40 years.[6] She has been politically active from Morang district.[4] She joined active politics as a member of the CPN (ML) affiliated student union, ANNFSU.[3] She was central deputy chair of ANNFSU at the time she graduated from student politics in 2052 BS (1995-96).[3] She registered as a member of CPN (ML) in 2047 BS (1990-91) and was elected to the central committee of CPN (UML) by the ninth general convention in 2071 BS (2014-15).[3] She also briefly served as the Morang district incharge of the party, before its merger to form Nepal Communist Party (NCP) in 2018.[3]
She was nominated as the
She was elected to the federal parliament under the proportional representation system,[7] nominated by the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN UML), and elected as deputy speaker with the support of her party CPN (UML), as well as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) (CPN MC) of the left alliance, defeating Pushpa Bhusal of Nepali Congress, on 15 March 2018 by a margin of 143 votes.[2] Her election as deputy speaker was controversial due to the fact that the constitution prohibits having both speaker and deputy speaker from the same party, which has been the case since the merger of CPN (UML) and CPN (MC) to form the NCP.[10] Following her election as deputy speaker, she resigned as a member of her party as per the constitutional requirement.[11] She was 53 years old when elected deputy speaker.[3] She resigned as the deputy speaker on 20 January 2020,[12] and on 17 February 2020 was appointed as the Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.
She is the younger sister of NCP leader Bijay Subba, who is also a central committee member of the party and a member of the House of Representatives through proportional representation system.[9] Subba is said to have been inspired to pursue his own doctorate (in "the political movement of indigenous peoples") from the example of Tumbahamphe.[9] While Subba had once defected from the party and started his own party, Tumbahamphe has been a life-long member of the CPN (UML).[9] Tumbahamphe famously challenged Bhim Acharya to a trainer dual once, after Acharya reportedly suggested a need to bring in trainers from the capital to educate party cadres in her district.[9] She supports increasing government expenditure on public education.[13]
