Chief ministers of the Indian states and union territories (Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir & Pudducherry)
Indian states by ruling alliance
In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-eight states and three of the eight union territories. According to the Constitution of India, at the state level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Out of the thirty incumbents, except Tamil Nadu's M. K. Stalin, all other Chief Ministers also act as the leader of the house in their Legislative Assemblies. Given they have the assembly's confidence, the chief minister's term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms they can serve.[1]
As of April 2024[update], the office of the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir is vacant with no new elections ever since the former state's autonomy was revoked. Of the thirty incumbents, only one is a woman — Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. Serving since 5 March 2000 (for 24 years, 55 days), Odisha's Naveen Patnaik has the longest incumbency. Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan (aged 78) is the oldest Chief Minister, while Arunachal Pradesh's Pema Khandu (aged 44) is the youngest Chief Minister.[2] Nitish Kumar of Bihar has served for the most terms (9).[3] Twelve incumbents belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party, three to the Indian National Congress , and two to the Aam Aadmi Party. No other party has more than one chief minister in office.
