Atishi, a first-time AAP MLA from Kalkaji, is now Delhi's third woman Chief Minister after Congress' Sheila Dikshit and BJP's Sushma Swaraj.

A gazette notification by the Union Home Ministry stated, “The President is pleased to appoint Ms. Atishi as the Chief Minister, National Capital Territory of Delhi, with effect from the date she is sworn in.” She also accepted Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation as the CM.

In her first address after taking the oath, Atishi urged people of Delhi to re-elect her predecessor to the top office

Along with her, five other ministers of AAP were sworn in and will be part of Delhi’s cabinet. These include Saurabh Bharadwaj, Gopal Rai, Kailash Gehlot, Imran Hussain and Mukesh Ahlawat

AAP leader Atishi became the 17th woman chief minister in the country and the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi as she took oath on Saturday.

The AAP leader is the third woman CM of the national capital after late Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit. At 43, Atishi is also the youngest CM in Delhi’s history, surpassing Kejriwal, who was 45 when he first took office.

Atishi was sworn in as the chief minister of Delhi at Raj Niwas, days after Arvind Kejriwal stepped down from his post

Atishi Marlena took oath as Delhi's third woman chief minister, drawing criticism from BJP leaders who labeled her a 'dummy CM' under Arvind Kejriwal's control. Despite this, Atishi must address key issues and implement important policies ahead of the assembly elections scheduled for February next year.
