Governor Soundararajan announced that Akbaruddin Owaisi will act as Speaker until a permanent one is chosen, in line with the Constitution.

The ceremony signifies the continuation of democratic processes within the Telangana Assembly.
It is to mention here that the new Speaker of Telangana Assembly to be announced today, the notification for the election of the new Speaker of the Telangana Assembly will be released today. The party leadership has already selected Gudam Prasad Kumar, MLA from vikarabad, to be the next Speaker.
This procedural formality is expected to be a quick process, as the decision has already been made. Traditionally, the senior-most member of the Assembly acts as the Protem Speaker until the newly elected members are sworn in and a new Speaker is chosen formally. (Maxim News)
