New Delhi Chief Minister 2025: The Bharatiya Janata Party, which returned to power in the national capital after a 27-year absence. They are expected to elect the next Delhi chief minister during a meeting of its elected MLAs on Wednesday. On February 19. On February 20, the legislative party leader is likely to take the oath of office as chief minister at Ramlila Maidan. Only days after the Delhi assembly election results for 2025.
The party formed the administration in Delhi after crushing the Aam Aadmi Party in the last assembly election. They won 48 of 70 seats. However, the party has yet to make a declaration regarding the chief minister of Delhi, so the speculation continues.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, chief ministers of BJP-ruled states, NDA leaders, Union ministers, and other dignitaries are scheduled to attend the ceremony. Several freshly elected MLAs are vying for the positions of chief minister and ministers.
Suspense over Delhi’s Chief Minister
Last week, the media was informed that a shortlist of 15 names had been compiled from among the 48 BJP MLAs to fill the positions of Chief Minister, members of his/her cabinet, and Assembly Speaker. The odds-on favourite for the top job is two-time ex-MP Parvesh Verma, who battled AAP chief and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency.
Others on the BJP’s chief ministerial shortlist include Virendra Sachdeva, the party’s Delhi unit head, and Bansuri Swaraj, a first-time MP and daughter of the late former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj. Satish Upadhyay, the BJP’s Brahmin representative in Delhi, is also an option.
Will Delhi have Women Chief Minister for the Fourth Time?
Who will be Delhi’s new chief minister? Will the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nominate a woman as the next Delhi Chief Minister? As the contest for the top seat continues, various BJP leaders’ names have emerged. Many people wonder if the new chief minister will be a new face, which surprises political observers. The BJP has previously chosen new and lesser-known candidates with a low public image for the position of chief minister.
According to the BJP leader, the party may consider an MLA with a ‘Purvanchal’ background. It can be a Sikh, or a woman, depending on the political calculations of its top brass. “Past experience, including in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in 2023. And Odisha last year, leave little room for speculation on such matters,” a reporter reported.
In the midst of such conjecture, six women BJP officials have emerged as candidates for the Delhi Chief Minister seat. They are Shikha Roy, Rekha Gupta, Smriti Irani, Bansuri Swaraj, Poonam Sharma, and Neelam Pahelwan.
Delhi Election Results
Uncertainty over Delhi’s next CM started building throughout the afternoon of February 8. It became clear that the BJP had staged an extraordinary comeback to power in Delhi. Narendra Modi’s party, which had been held back in Delhi for 26 years by the Congress and subsequently the AAP, won 48 of the city’s 70 Assembly seats.
To put this in context, the party received 11 votes in the last two Delhi elections. The AAP, which was hoping to win a third consecutive term, was pulled down by assaults on party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Over the ‘sheeshmahal’ and liquor excise policy controversies, it still won 22 seats.
