The 3-day special session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly has started in Mumbai from today. On the first day, the Pro-tem Speaker will administer oath to all 288 newly elected MLAs.
On 6 December, MLA Kalidas Kolambakar was elected pro tem speaker for the special session of the Legislative Assembly. Governor CP Radhakrishnan administered the oath to him at the Raj Bhavan.
Election of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly will be held on December 9. For this, the names of former Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar and BJP MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar are in discussion.
However, there is also talk that Rahul Narvekar wants to become a minister in the new government, in which case Sudhir Mungantiwar is considered a strong contender for the post of chairman.
The Governor's address will be held on December 9 only after the swearing in of MLAs and the election of the Speaker. The winter session of the new assembly will be held in Nagpur from December 16 to 21.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, after taking oath on December 5, said that the new cabinet will be announced before the winter session.

No opposition party has 10% seats
Voting was held on November 20 in 288 assembly seats of Maharashtra. The result came on November 23. Mahayuti got 230 seats. In which BJP won 132 MLAs, Shiv Sena 57 and NCP 41 MLAs. While Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) got 46 seats and others got 12 seats. In MVA, Shiv Sena (UBT) won 20 seats, Congress 16 and Sharad Pawar's NCP 10 seats. The majority figure is 145.
A party needs to have 10% of the seats to claim the Leader of the Opposition. In the 288-seat Maharashtra Assembly, 29 seats are required to claim the post, which no opposition party has. In such a situation, the assembly will not have the main opposition party and its leader.
