Biography edit
A lawyer by profession, Zorčič entered the Party of Miro Cerar in 2014 and was elected MP in 2014 and 2018.[2] Following the restructuring of the cabinet after the resignation of Marjan Šarec as the Prime Minister in January 2020, Zorčič got elected Speaker of the National Assembly on 5 March 2020.[3]
By the beginning of 2021, Zorčič left SMC. On 31 March 2021, SDS-led coalition tried to replace him as the Speaker of Assembly, but this attempt was unsuccessful.[4]
