Amaravati, June 22: C. Ayyannapatrudu, the TDP (Telugu Desam Party) MLA from Narsipatnam, was unanimously chosen as the Speaker of the 16th Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Saturday.

Since no other MLA put forward a nomination to contest Ayyannapatrudu for the Speaker’s position, his election was only a formality.

According to PPK Ramacharyulu, secretary general of the Legislative Assembly, just three nominations were received on Friday for the position of Speaker, and all of them were made on behalf of Ayyannapatrudu.
