Delhi New Chief Minister LIVE Updates: Visuals from outside Ramlila Maidan showed a decked up street and ground as the national capital is set to witness the swearing-in ceremony of first-time MLA Rekha Gupta, who will take oath as the new chief minister of Delhi.
Gupta’s name as the CM was announced on Wednesday evening, capping 11 days of suspense over who will get the top post after the BJP returned to power after over 26 years ending the 10-year rule of the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP.
Rekha Gupta had won the recently-held Delhi assembly elections 2025 from Shalimar Bagh after defeating AAP candidate Bandana Kumari by over 29,000 votes. She will take the oath of office at a grand ceremony which will begin around 11 AM.
Rekha Gupta will be the fourth woman chief minister of Delhi after Sushma Swaraj (BJP), Sheila Dikshit (Congress) and Atishi (AAP).
Around 50,000 people, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his cabinet colleagues and the chief ministers of NDA-ruled states among others, are expected to attend the oath-taking ceremony.
