18th Lok Sabha Session Begins: What to Expect from June 24 to July 3

The 18th Lok Sabha session starts June 24, with three days for the newly elected members to take oaths and elect a Speaker. President Murmu will address both houses on June 27, outlining the new government's plan. The session concludes on July 3, coinciding with the 264th Rajya Sabha session.

The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha is set to commence on June 24, marking the beginning of parliamentary duties for newly elected members. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced the timeline on Wednesday.

For the initial three days, members will be sworn in and a new Speaker will be elected. The session is scheduled to conclude on July 3.

President Droupadi Murmu will address a joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on June 27, outlining the new government's roadmap for the next five years.

''First session of 18th Lok Sabha is being summoned from 24/6/24 to 3/7/24 for oath/affirmation of newly elected members, election of Speaker, President's address and discussion thereon,'' Rijiju stated in a post on X.

The 264th Session of the Rajya Sabha will also start on June 27 and finish on July 3. On the same day, Prime Minister Modi is expected to introduce his council of ministers to Parliament after the President's address.

The session is anticipated to feature a robust debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address, with an assertive opposition aiming to challenge the NDA government on multiple issues. The prime minister will address both Houses of Parliament to respond to this debate.
