Atishi will be sworn in as Delhi's new chief minister, retaining the previous four ministers and including first-time MLA Mukesh Ahlawat in her Cabinet. The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Raj Niwas,

Indian opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal picked Delhi minister Atishi to replace him as chief minister of the capital territory on Tuesday, allowing him to focus on winning a fresh mandate in elections due next year after getting bail in a graft case.

The party had previously announced that only Atishi would take oath, however, it was later decided that her council of ministers would also take the oath.

When Atishi takes oath as Delhi Chief Minister on September 21, she will become only the third woman in history to achieve this milestone, following Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit. Her rise is critical for AAP as they prepare for upcoming elections and fast-track pending policies.

Atishi, who was proposed as the CM-designate by Arvind Kejriwal, will take oath along with her council of ministers.

AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, is pushing for early Delhi elections to coincide with Maharashtra’s polls in 2024. After stepping down as Chief Minister, Kejriwal aims to rebuild public trust and energise the party.

Mukesh Ahlawat, an AAP MLA, will be the newest member of Atishi's Delhi Cabinet, with Atishi taking oath as Chief Minister on September 21.

Aam Aadmi Party senior officials have confirmed that Delhi's designated Chief Minister Atishi alongside her cabinet will officially take oaths of office on 21.

Lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Wednesday sent the file on the appointment of the chief minister to the President for approval, proposing Saturday for the swearing-in ceremony
