After a deal was reached on tuesday between the opposition and the ruling BJP-led nda, bjp mp om birla will be re-elected as Speaker of the lok sabha for a second consecutive term. Since the opposition has chosen not to run a candidate for the office of lok sabha Speaker, Birla is predicted to win the election with no opposition.
 
Following the opposition india bloc's announcement that it was weighing its options, the government sent out Defence minister rajnath singh and Parliamentary Affairs minister Kiren Rijiju to foster agreement on the lok sabha Speaker nominee.
 
In the general elections, om birla had won the Kota lok sabha seat by a margin of more than 41,000 votes.

According to earlier reports, if the NDA's choice for lok sabha Speaker could be agreed upon, the opposition may take over as the next leader of the house.
 
In 2014, M Thambi Durai of the AIADMK was named Deputy Speaker by the BJP. Since 2019, the position has been unfilled.
 
Rahul Gandhi, a congressman, reported that rajnath singh had called mallikarjun Kharge, the party president, asking him to back the nda candidate.
 
According to tradition, the opposition should be appointed to the office of Deputy Speaker, stated the Raebareli MP.
 
"Mallikarjun Kharge was summoned by rajnath singh, who requested that he provide the Speaker his support. The opposition as a whole declared that they would back the speaker, however it is customary to assign the opposition to the position of deputy speaker. rahul gandhi stated, "Rajnath Singh promised to contact mallikarjun Kharge back, but he hasn't done so yet.
