New Delhi, Sept 19: Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on Saturday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced on Thursday.
"Atishi will take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi on September 21, other ministers will also take their oaths alongside her," the party said in a statement.
AAP leader Atishi, who has staked claim to become the next Delhi Chief Minister, said on Tuesday that she is happy about the trust posed in her by the outgoing CM Arvind Kejriwal but also sad that he has resigned from his post.
Atishi told reporters that she will work to bring back Kejriwal as Chief Minister after the assembly polls, which would be held in the next few months.
Arvind Kejriwal tendered his resignation as Delhi Chief Minister on Tuesday, just hours after the AAP selected Atishi as his successor for the post.
Kejriwal arrived at the Delhi LG Saxena's residence around 4:30 P.M accompanied by other AAP leaders, including Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj and submitted his resignation.
Sources said there would be no Deputy Chief Minister.
