The Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor will address the Assembly,” the communique adds.
The election of the Speaker and the Governor’s address are anticipated to set the tone for the Assembly’s legislative agenda in the coming months.
Senior NC leader Abdul Rahim Rather is the ruling party’s top choice for the post of speaker of the House.
With National Conference-led alliance having support of 55 MLAs in 90 member House, Rather is set to be elected as Speaker of the House. There are chances that Rather would be unanimously elected as Speaker of the House as Bharatiya Janta Party, the largest opposition party in the House, is unlikely to field its candidate for the post.
“We have not yet decided whether to field our candidate for the election but we don’t have numbers to get the post,” senior BJP leader Ashok Koul said.
There are indications that the NC-led alliance could give deputy speaker’s post to the BJP.
