Republican Kevin McCarthy has lost the election for the Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Political analysts say this is unprecedented in American political history in a hundred years.
With Nancy Pelosi stepping down as Speaker of the House of Representatives, an election was held to choose the next Speaker. Kevin McCarthy contested on behalf of the Republican Party. He was expected to win, but failed to get a majority in the first round of voting. Thus the House of Representatives adjourned without electing a Speaker. Political analysts say that such an incident took place in 1923 before this. After 100 years, this is happening now.
It is reported that re-election in the council will be held soon.
