On 26 June 2024, Om Birla, was elected Speaker of the Lok Sabha, defeating the opposition candidate Kodikunnil Suresh, in a voice vote, making it fourth election of Lok Sabha speaker in the history of India.[5] The last time elections were held for the post of speaker was in 1976 during the tenure of the 5th Lok Sabha, with Baliram Bhagat of INC(R) defeating Jagannathrao Joshi of BJS. Birla became the 5th Speaker of the Lok Sabha to retain his post for 2 consecutive terms, after G. M. C. Balayogi, Balram Jakhar, G. S. Dhillon and M. A. Ayyangar.[6]

While the Opposition was keen to field Awadhesh Prasad, Samajwadi Party MP from Faizabad as its choice for the Deputy Speaker, the ruling BJP has refused to relinquish the post to the Opposition. Insteadithe government has formed a nine member panel of chairpersons comprising four MPs from the ruling party (Jagadambika Pal of Domariyaganj, P. C.
