Vikarabad MLA Prasad Kumar’s election as the Speaker may be a formality as there are no indications of the BRS putting up its candidate.
The nominations will be accepted from 10.30 AM to 5 PM today. The election will be held on December 14. It could be a one sided election for the Congress party.
AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, who was appointed as the pro tem Speaker, administered the oath of office to the newly elected MLAs on December 9.
Former CM KCR and his son KTR the former Minister are yet to take the oath. It will take some time for KCR to take oath.
BJP MLAs stayed away from the House, alleging that MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi was appointed, violating the rules.
The Congress won 64 seats in the recently concluded assembly polls and its ally CPI got one seat. BRS bagged 39 seats while AIMIM was victorious in seven seats. The BJP secured eight seats.
