The Odisha Assembly has issued a notification for the election of Speaker of the House on June 13 as BJD MLA SN Patro resigned from the post recently.
In a notification issued on Wednesday, State Assembly OSD-cum-Secretary Dasharathi Satapathy said, “…the Governor is pleased to fix June 13, 2022 (Monday) at 10.30 am for the election of the Speaker.”
A meeting of all MLAs has been called for this purpose, he said in the circular.
