Lok Sabha Speaker Election: All Eyes On NDA’s Pick As It Set To Announce Lok Sabha Speaker | News18Lok Sabha Speaker Election: The race is on for the appointment of the new Lok Sabha Speaker, a process that could potentially see a contest for the first time since independence. The NDA may announce the name of its nominee for the post on Tuesday, a day ahead of the scheduled Speaker election on June 26. Pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab, Radha Mohan Singh and D Purandeswari have emerged as the likely frontrunners from the NDA camp for the post. The Opposition INDIA bloc, on the other hand, is adamant over its demand that senior Congress leader K Suresh, an eight-time MP, be appointed as the Deputy Speaker of the Lower House, failing which it would field him as the Opposition’s Speaker nominee.
