N. Chandrababu Naidu, who led the Telugu Desaam Party-Bharatiya Janata Party-Janasena coalition to a landslide victory in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections, will be sworn in as the chief minister of the southern state on Wednesday, June 12. The swearing-in ceremony will take place at 11.27 am at the Kesarapalli IT Park near Gannavaram airport on the outskirts of Vijayawada. Besides Naidu, other politicians are likely to take oath, including Janasena chief minister Pawan Kalyan and his senior leader N. Manohar, Naidu's son Nara Lokesh and Andhra Pradesh TDP leader Atchan Naidu. Given the strength of the 175-seat Andhra Pradesh Assembly, the cabinet, including the chief minister, can have 26 ministers.
Earlier on Tuesday, Naidu met Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazir at the Raj Bhawan in Vijayawada and formally laid claim to forming the government. He was accompanied by his party's ally, Janasena leader Pawan Kalyan, and Bharatiya Janata Party state president Daggubati Purandeswari.
In the 2014 elections, Naidu became the first chief minister of a divided Andhra Pradesh and served in that position until 2019. He lost the 2019 elections and remained opposition leader until 2024. After a landslide victory in the 2024 elections, winning 164 of 175 parliamentary seats and 21 of 25 Sabha seats, Naidu will oust the YSRCP and return for a fourth term as chief minister.
Who will be attending the swearing-in ceremony?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP leader JP Nadda and several other politicians are expected to attend the swearing-in ceremony. As per the provisional schedule, PM Modi is expected to arrive at the venue at 10.55 am to attend the swearing-in ceremony which will take place from 11 am to 12.30 pm.
The TDP has reportedly sent invitations to farmers who had provided land for the construction of the Amaravati Capital project and some of those who were allegedly harassed during the previous YSR Congress government.
