Atishi, 43, who holds the highest number of portfolios in the Delhi government, will also hold the distinction of being only the third woman after Sushma Swaraj and Sheila Dikshit to become the chief minister of the national capital.
She was unanimously chosen as chief minister designate during the legislature party meeting here on Tuesday.
In her first remarks after being chosen to replace Kejriwal, she thanked him and called him her elder brother.
Crediting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), she said it was only possible here that a firsttime politician could be given such a huge responsibility.
Being chosen just months short of Delhi polls, Atishi has her task cut out. She will have to hold Cabinet meetings to approve and fast track key projects and policies like the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana and the Electric Vehicle 2.0 Policy among others.
Atishi was a founding member of AAP and played a pivotal role in shaping its policies, including as a key member of the 2013 Manifesto Drafting Committee. Known for her articulate advocacy, she has been a consistent voice for the party’s principles.
