Biju Janata Dal (BJD) party member Pramila Malik became the first woman Speaker of the Odisha Assembly.
The election of Pramila Malik as the Speaker of the Odisha Legislative Assembly took place on September 22, 2023, and she was elected unopposed.
The post became vacant due to the resignation of Bikram Keshari Arukha in May 2023.
Pramila Malik has been a six-time MLA from the Binjharpur assembly seat in Jajpur district of Odisha. This seat is reserved for the Scheduled Caste community.
She initially became an MLA in 1990 as a member of the Janata Dal and later joined the BJD party led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Before his role as Speaker, he held the post of Minister of Revenue and Disaster Management in the BJD government.
