Who holds the Speaker's chair in the Kerala Legislative Assembly

Background

The Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly is Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan. He represents the Kottayam constituency. He was born on 26 December 1949 and holds BA and LLB degrees. The Assembly's own record gives his permanent address at Kottayam and his official residence as Neethi in the Legislature Complex at Thiruvananthapuram. The Speaker presides over sittings of the House, decides points of order and controls its proceedings, and the Deputy Speaker takes the chair when the Speaker is absent. Kerala has a single-chamber legislature, so the Speaker's chair is the only presiding office of its kind in the State.
