Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena has proposed September 21 for Atishi’s swearing-in as Chief Minister, marking a significant milestone in the city’s politics. Atishi, a key advisor to outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, will replace him after he steps down ¹. This development comes ahead of the assembly elections scheduled in Delhi before February 2025.

Atishi, a 43-year-old Oxford alumna, has been a minister in the outgoing Kejriwal cabinet since March last year, holding at least 14 key portfolios, including Finance, Education, and Public Works Department ¹. Her appointment as Chief Minister is seen as a strategic move by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to promote development and strengthen democracy.

As the new Chief Minister, Atishi will face the challenge of navigating the city’s complex governance landscape, particularly with Kejriwal, Sisodia, and other AAP leaders facing money-laundering charges ¹. Despite these challenges, Atishi’s clean image and commitment to progressive education and organic farming are expected to resonate with the people of Delhi.

Atishi’s swearing-in ceremony on September 21 will be closely watched by politicians and citizens alike. The event marks a new chapter in Delhi’s politics, with Atishi poised to make her mark as the city’s leader ¹.

The AAP has expressed confidence in Atishi’s ability to lead the city, citing her pivotal role in revamping the state of education in government-run schools in Delhi ¹. With her strong educational background and experience in governance, Atishi is well-equipped to tackle the challenges ahead and drive Delhi’s development.
