The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will nominate Om Birla, a Member of Parliament (MP) of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP,) as the Lok Sabha Speaker.
On the 18th of June, during the second day of the Lok Sabha session, NDA will nominate Om Birla as the candidate for the post of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
Amita Birla, the wife of Om Birla, said, “It is a very proud and a happy moment for us. We are very thankful to the Cabinet for choosing him.”
Om Birla is one of the strong leaders of the BJP from Rajasthan. He is also a two time MP from Kota, Rajasthan.
Nominated by the NDA, Om Birla has high chances of winning the election for the Speaker’s post as the majority of MPs in the Lok Sabha represent the BJP and the NDA.
Out of the 542 MPs in the Lok Sabha House, 352 MPs are from the NDA and the BJP.
Om Birla will replace Sumitra Mahajan, the former Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
As of now, Virendra Kumar is the Protem (temporary) Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
The election for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker is scheduled to be held on the 19th of June.
