The speaker of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly is the presiding officer of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the main law-making body for the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
In the Republic of India, the various central and state legislatures are presided by either a speaker or a chairman. The speaker is elected in the very first meeting of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly after the General elections for a term of 5 years from amongst the members of the Saasana Sabha. The speaker holds office until either they ceases to be a member of the Saasana Sabha or he himself resigns. The speaker can be removed from office by a resolution passed in the Saasana Sabha by an effective majority of its members.[1] In the absence of a Speaker, the meeting of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly is presided over by the deputy speaker.[2]
