Question

Who is elected as the Pro tem Speaker in the newly elected Lok Sabha?

A.

Senior most member of Lok Sabha

B.

Past president

C.

Member nominated by the Prime Minister

D.

Senior most member of the Rajya Sabha

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Senior most member of Lok Sabha

Explanation:
• The Pro tem Speaker is typically the senior-most member of the newly elected Lok Sabha (House of the People).
• The Pro tem Speaker is appointed by the President of India and is responsible for administering the oath of office to the newly elected members and conducting the election of the new Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
• The Pro tem Speaker's role is temporary, and they only serve until the new Speaker is elected.

Information Booster:
• The Pro tem Speaker plays a key role during the initial stages of a new Lok Sabha session, as they facilitate the first proceedings.
• The senior-most member is typically an experienced parliamentarian who has been a member of the Lok Sabha for several terms.

Additional Knowledge:
Past president 
• A past president does not automatically become the Pro tem Speaker. The role is assigned to the senior-most member of the Lok Sabha, not a former president.

Member nominated by the Prime Minister 
• The Prime Minister does not directly nominate the Pro tem Speaker. The appointment is made by the President of India.

Senior most member of the Rajya Sabha 
• The Pro tem Speaker is from the Lok Sabha, not the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), so the senior-most member of the Rajya Sabha does not become the Pro tem Speaker.
