Atishi will be Delhi’s new Chief Minister, as announced following a legislative party meeting chaired by Arvind Kejriwal at his residence. Kejriwal, who is set to resign later today, will meet Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena at 4:30 pm. Atishi, a key figure in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is the third woman to assume this role in Delhi’s history, following Sheila Dikshit and Sushma Swaraj.
