Kejriwal will also give up security and move out of the CM's residence…
New Delhi: On Thursday, 19 September 2024, AAP's Atishi will take oath as Delhi Chief Minister on Saturday, the party announced.
The ruling party had initially decided that only Atishi would be sworn in, however, it was later determined that her council of ministers would also take the oath.
Atishi will take over from Arvind Kejriwal. He resigned from the post on Tuesday.
AAP said Mr. Kejriwal will also give up security and move out of the chief minister's residence in 15 days. He will live like a "commoner".
Many names were proposed to lead the Delhi government after Arvind Kejriwal announced his resignation following his bail by the Supreme Court in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.
Ms. Atishi, however, was the frontrunner for the top job as she had assumed a central role in the party after the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy case.
