Rahul Narwekar is an Indian politician and member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He is the current speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Narwekar was elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Council in June 2016 as a Governor's Nominated member. Previously, he was a member of the Shiv Sena party, but as the party denied him a ticket in 2014 Lok Sabha elections, he joined the Nationalist Congress Party and unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha election on the party's ticket from the Maval constituency. Rahul is the sitting MLA from Colaba (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in Mumbai on a Bhartiya Janata Party ticket. He is Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on 3 July 2022 and he is the second-youngest (age 44) person to be elected speaker of any state in the country, the youngest being Shivraj Patil (age 42).[1][2] In May 2023, he completed a 4-day UK tour speaking at the Ideas for India Conference organised by Bridge India in London,[3] and speaking with students at Cambridge University. His tour attracted media attention[4][5][6][7] because of its proximity to the Supreme Court judgement on the disqualification of 16 MLAs of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.[8]
