Lok Sabha Speaker elected without contest since Independence

Lok Sabha Speakers elected unopposed since independence


Between 1925 and 1946, there were six contests for the post of Speaker of the Central Legislative Assembly. Vitthalbhai Patel was unanimously re-elected in 1927 after completing his first term. Patel resigned on 28 April 1930 following Mahatma Gandhi's call for civil disobedience.

The Lok Sabha Speaker has always been elected unopposed since independence. Therefore, if the opposition United India forces the election of the 18th Lok Sabha Speaker on 26 June, it will be the first time in the history of independent India that the important Speaker of the Lower House will be held by a single party. It is always decided by agreement between the government and the opposition or coalition.

Example: On August 24, 1925, the first elections were held for the Speaker of the Central Legislative Assembly, the lower house of the Imperial Legislative Council, the legislative branch of British India. Swaraj Party leader Vitthalbhai J. Patel defeated T. Rangachariar. Patel, the first non-official member to be elected Speaker, won by a narrow margin of two votes. Patel received 58 votes and Rangachariar 56.

Buoyed by its growing strength in Sabah, India is eyeing the post of Deputy Speaker. As per practice, if the ruling party or alliance wins the Speaker's post, the Deputy Speaker is elected from the opposition party or alliance of members of Parliament.

Parliament from June 24

The election date for the newly elected Speaker's post in Parliament is scheduled for next week. The first session of the 18th Parliament will begin on June 24. The new Lok Sabha members will be sworn in and the Speaker will be elected. The election date has been set for June 26.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7.

Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di

  Terrorist Attacks on Israel and Indian Solidarity with Israel as India also Suffers Islamic Terror                         Islamic terrorism is a global threat, and no country is immune. Israel and India are two countries that have been particularly hard hit by terrorist attacks.
