The assembly closed two months ago after threats to impeach the speaker but the issue was rested following the intervention of the state government.

The house witnessed a shake-up where the Deputy Speaker resigned and was replaced with other Principal Officers, yet the impeachment threat was reopened upon its resumption.

NAN reports that the new Speaker is already presiding over the assembly’s sitting which resumed on Monday, July 30, 2018, after a two-month break.
