What is the name of the Speaker of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha?

Concept: The Speaker is the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha, elected by the members of that House from amongst themselves at the commencement of every new Lok Sabha under Article 93 of the Constitution of India. Even after the House is dissolved, under Article 94 the outgoing Speaker continues in office and vacates the post only immediately before the first sitting of the next Lok Sabha. The Speaker is the final authority on procedural questions in the House.

Application: The Seventeenth Lok Sabha first sat on 17 June 2019. Two days later, on 19 June 2019, the House unanimously elected Om Birla (BJP Member of Parliament from Kota, Rajasthan) as its Speaker, and he presided over the Seventeenth Lok Sabha for its full term.

Cross-check: Checking the other names offered rules out any confusion: Sumitra Mahajan presided over the preceding Sixteenth Lok Sabha (2014-2019); Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah, meanwhile, held senior Union Cabinet portfolios (Defence and Home respectively) - Rajnath Singh seconded the motion electing Om Birla as Speaker, and Amit Shah moved a further motion in support - without either of them holding the Speaker's post themselves. This confirms Om Birla as the Speaker of the Seventeenth Lok Sabha.
