Delhi’s political landscape is poised for a significant change as Atishi, the Chief Minister-designate, prepares to take her oath of office on 21.

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

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.

Four ministers in the Arvind Kejriwal government will retain their posts as Atishi takes charge as Delhi's new Chief Minister on Friday, sources have said.

Gopal Rai, Kailash Gahlot, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Imran Hussain will continue in the council of ministers headed by Atishi.

Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi chief minister on Tuesday, after which Atishi staked claim to form a new government in the national capital.

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.
