New Delhi: Senior BJP leader and MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely was sworn in as the pro-tem speaker of the newly constituted Delhi Assembly on Monday. The oath was administered by Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena at the Raj Niwas ahead of the first sitting of the Assembly.

As the pro-tem speaker, Lovely will oversee the swearing-in of newly elected MLAs before the election of the new Speaker later in the day. BJP MLA Vijender Gupta is expected to be elected to the post, marking the party’s return to power in Delhi after a decade.

The BJP secured a decisive victory in the February 5 Assembly elections, winning 48 out of 70 seats, thereby ending the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) 10-year rule. AAP, now in the Opposition with 22 MLAs, has unanimously elected former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi as the Leader of the Opposition.
