#Sumitra Mahajan # Lok Sabha Speaker
New Delhi, June 4 (IBNS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Indore, Sumitra Mahajan, is likely to be the next Speaker of the Lok Sabha, said reports on Wednesday.

In 2014, she won the Lok Sabha elections for the eighth time, one of three members of the 16th Lok Sabha to do so and the longest-serving woman member.

 
She has been representing the Indore constituency of Madhya Pradesh since 1989.

She is a former Union Minister of State of India.
 
She was minister from 2002 to 2004 and held portfolios of Human Resources, Communications and Petroleum.
 
She studied at Indore University for MA and LLB.

The first sitting of the 16th Lok Sabha will be adjourned for the day on Wednesday after paying homage to Union Minister Gopinath Pandurangrao Munde, who lost his life on Tuesday due to multiple internal injuries after his car was hit by another vehicle in the national capital.

Former parliamentary affairs minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath will preside over the proceedings of the Lower House of the Parliament as the pro-tem Speaker.

President Pranab Mukherjee will administer Nath's oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan before the Lok Sabha assembles on Wedmesday.

The election of a new Speaker will be held on June 6.
