The election for the post will take place on December 4th. Speaker Prem Kumar announced the schedule. Yadav earlier worked as the Pro-tem Speaker in the 18th Assembly and managed the Speaker’s election process smoothly.

He first became Deputy Speaker of the 17th Vidhan Sabha on February 23, 2024. Now he returns to the same role in the 18th Vidhan Sabha. Before him, Shakoor Ahmed also served two consecutive terms. Yadav is the 19th person to hold this position after independence.

Devsharan Singh was the first Deputy Speaker after independence, while Abdul Bari held the responsibility before independence from 1937 to 1939. Over the decades, many leaders—from Jagat Narayan Lal to Maheshwar Hazari—served in this role and shaped legislative functioning.

Narendra Narayan Yadav now joins this long list of important names in Bihar’s political history. His experience and continuity are expected to bring stability to the Assembly.

Narendra Narayan Yadav took charge as the Pro-tem Speaker. Governor Arif Mohammad Khan gave him the oath at Raj Bhavan. He will swear in all 243 newly elected MLAs. Yadav is one of the most experienced members of the House. He has won the Alamnagar seat eight times since 1995.

The Parliamentary Affairs Department is preparing for the session. The Nitish Kumar government will hold its first cabinet meeting before final decisions. If only one name is proposed for Speaker, the result will be announced without voting. If more than one nomination is filed, an election will take place.

The government is also expected to present a supplementary budget during this session.
