Party spokesperson

A Party spokesperson (also known as Party spokesman or Party spokeswoman) is any member of a political party (at any regional level of the party structure) who is charged by the leaders of the party with communicating the party's position on specific portfolios. Party spokespersons largely feature in political parties of parliamentary systems. Party spokespersons can also be assisted in their duties by deputy or assistant spokespersons in the same portfolio.

In Canada, non-government party spokespersons are known as party critics and deputy party critics, respectively. These representatives serve as the primary voice of their political organization on various issues, from policy matters to crisis management situations.
