Bengaluru, Aug 14, 2026: Congress MLA Gurupadagouda Sanganagouda Patil was elected Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Friday.
Popularly known as G S Patil, his name was proposed by Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and seconded by Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara.
Pro-tem Speaker T B Jayachandra, who presided over the proceedings, declared Patil elected after a voice vote.
