The leader of the opposition in the Odisha Legislative Assembly is the politician who leads the official opposition in the Odisha Legislative Assembly.
Official Opposition [1] is a term used to designate the political party which has secured the second largest number of seats in the assembly. In order to get formal recognition, the party must have at least 10% of total membership of the Legislative Assembly. A single party has to meet the 10% seat criterion, not an alliance. Many of the Indian state legislatures also follows this 10% rule while the rest of them prefer single largest opposition party according to the rules of their respective houses.
