Delhi New CM Oath Ceremony 2024 Live Updates: Aam Aadmi Party (AA) leader Atishi will take oath as the new Delhi Chief Minister at Raj Niwas around 4:30 pm on Saturday. Atishi will be the 17th woman chief minister in the country and the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi, after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit.
Five others will be sworn-in as ministers. Meanwhile, the five ministers in the new Delhi Cabinet will include AAP leader Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Imran Hussain and a new entrant, Mukesh Ahlawat.
The oath-taking ceremony at Raj Niwas is likely to be a “low-key affair” as the mood in the party is not upbeat because of Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation. AAP’s national convenor Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi Chief Minister on September 17. He stepped down from the post days after he was released on bail by the Supreme Court in connection with the excise policy ‘scam’ case.
Announcing his decision to resign, Kejriwal said hat he would return to the post only after getting a “certificate of honesty” from Delhi people in the assembly poll. He also demanded early elections in Delhi but did not ask for early dissolution of the Delhi Assembly. The Delhi Assembly Elections is scheduled to be held in February next year. Meanwhile, the AAP is busy campaigning for the upcoming polls in neighbouring Haryana.
