Veteran BJP leader Prem Kumar was on Tuesday (December 2, 2025) unanimously elected as the Speaker of the Bihar assembly.

Pro-tem Speaker Narendra Narayan Yadav informed the House that Mr. Kumar was the only candidate whose name figured for the post.

Thereafter, Mr. Kumar was declared “unanimously elected” following a voice vote.

As per custom, Mr. Kumar, who recently won the Gaya Town seat for a record eighth term, was escorted to the Chair by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav.
