TDP’s Narsipatnam MLA C Ayyannapatrudu was elected unanimously as the Speaker of the 16th Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Saturday, 22 June.
Ayyannapatrudu’s election was a mere formality as no other MLA filed a nomination for the Speaker’s post to challenge him.
On Friday, only three nominations were received for the Speaker’s post, and they all were on behalf of Ayyannapatrudu, said PPK Ramacharyulu, secretary general, of the Legislative Assembly.
The second day of the first session of the 16th Legislative Assembly commenced at 10:30 am on Saturday.
Three MLAs who did not take oath of office on Friday, 21 June, finished the formalities on Saturday. With the completion of their swearing-in, all the 175 MLAs of the southern state took the oath of office.
Meanwhile, YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is not likely to attend the Assembly as he is scheduled to visit Kadapa district later in the day.
According to a statement from the opposition party, the former CM will spend the next three days at Pulivendula.
