Speaker election June 26

Since, as per Article 93 of the Constitution, the Speaker's post falls vacant just before the new Lok Sabha convenes for the first time, the President will first appoint a Pro-tem Speaker to administer the oath of office to the newly elected Members of Parliament. Former union minister and seven-term Bharatiya Janata Party MP Radha Mohan Singh will most likely be appointed as the Pro-tem Speaker for carrying out the House proceedings since he is among the senior most members. On the first two days of the session, the newly elected members of the Lok Sabha will be administered the oath.
