On December 9, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Rahul Narwekar was elected unopposed as the Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly.

Narvekar is an MLA from the Colaba constituency and is taking charge for a second consecutive term as the Speaker.

In a key development in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis initiated the process for the election of the Speaker.

Narvekar's election marks an important moment in the ongoing legislative session, as the Speaker plays a crucial role in maintaining order, overseeing debates, and ensuring the smooth functioning of the Assembly.

Notably, Rahul Narwekar has served as the Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly during the last term of the Mahayuti government. He took oath as the Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Colaba constituency on December 7. (ANI)
