18th Lok Sabha to elect Leader of Opposition, potentially also a deputy speaker.

18th Lok Sabha, India's lower house, will elect a Leader of the Opposition (LoP) after a decade, and opposition leaders hope to elect a deputy speaker as well, a post vacant for 5 years. The 17th Lok Sabha ended without a deputy speaker, marking the second consecutive term without an LoP. The opposition intends to pressure for the prompt appointment of a deputy speaker in the upcoming Lok Sabha session.
