NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader UT Khader is set to become the speaker of the Karnataka assembly, according to television reports. The party high command has reportedly approved Khader's nomination for the position.
Khader (53) has previously served as the deputy opposition leader in the assembly. If appointed, he would be the first individual from a minority community to hold the post of speaker.
State party in-charge Randeep Surjewala and national general secretary KC Venugopal recently met with Khader, a five-time MLA, to discuss the matter. Khader is expected to submit his nomination for the speaker's post today, and if necessary, the election will be held on Wednesday.
Earlier, the names of other senior party functionaries like RV Deshpande, HK Patil, TB Jayachandra, Basavaraj Rayareddi, BR Patil, and KN Rajanna were also being discussed for the post.
Khader is a sitting MLA from Mangalore Constituency in Dakshin Kannada district.
