The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, in which many senior BJP leaders will participate.
Following its victory in the Delhi Election 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party has announced Rekha Gupta as the next Chief Minister of Delhi. The two-time councillor and first-time MLA won from the Shalimar Bagh seat and has vowed to carry out development across the capital, especially under the leadership of PM Modi.
Gupta is the second female BJP leader to be chief minister of Delhi. The first was Sushma Swaraj, who became the chief minister in 1998 after the resignation of Sahib Singh Verma.
Rekha Gupta won the Shalimar Bagh seat with a margin of 29,595 votes, bringing an end to AAP candidate Bandana Kumari's winning streak in the North-West Delhi seat.
Rekha Gupta's Political Career
Rekha Gupta's political journey began with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), where she served as the Delhi University Secretary.
She has been a councillor twice and is an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since her childhood, which paved the way for her involvement with ABVP.
Gupta has also served as the general secretary of Delhi BJP and the national vice president of the BJP Mahila Morcha.
In 2022, Gupta was selected as the candidate for the Delhi Mayoral polls and was up against AAP's Shelly Oberoi. With her win in the 2025 elections, Gupta became an MLA for the first time.
Swearing-In Ceremony Tomorrow
The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi tomorrow, in which many senior BJP leaders will participate. The swearing-in ceremony is expected to start at 11 AM.
