While the Chief Minister-elect is yet to be decided, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to hold its legislative party meeting a day prior, on December 4, to finalise its choice. However, the confirmation of the ceremony indicates that the new Chief Minister will indeed be from the BJP, signalling the party’s lead role in the formation of the government.
The BJP’s decision-making process is expected to draw considerable attention as the party weighs its options for leadership. With the swearing-in date confirmed, political activity in the state is expected to intensify as the new government takes shape and prepares to assume its responsibilities.
