TDP’s Narsipatnam MLA C Ayyannapatrudu was elected unanimously as the Speaker of the 16th Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Saturday.
Ayyannapatrudu’s election was a mere formality as no other MLA filed a nomination for the Speaker’s post to challenge him.
On Friday, only three nominations were received for the Speaker’s post, and they all were on behalf of Ayyannapatrudu, said PPK Ramacharyulu, Secretary General, Legislative Assembly.
