The state chapter of the PDP has zoned the position to the southern zone where the elected speaker comes from.
The Plateau State House of Assembly on Tuesday elected a first-term lawmaker, Moses Sule, as the new speaker of the house., who represents the Mikan constituency, was elected unopposed by the members of the house.
Unlike some House of Assemblies in the country, the Plateau Assembly has no standing rule that the speaker must be a member who has been in the house for more than one tenure. While thanking other members of the assembly, Mr Sule said they must cooperate with the executive and the judiciary to develop the state.
