NEW DELHI – In a significant political development, Atishi is set to become the next Chief Minister of Delhi, following the resignation of Arvind Kejriwal. The announcement came after a unanimous decision by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs during a legislative meeting earlier today.
Arvind Kejriwal, who has been at the helm of Delhi’s government since 2013, proposed Atishi’s name as his successor. This move comes just months before the scheduled assembly elections, adding a new dimension to the political landscape of the capital.
Atishi, an Oxford University alumnus and a Rhodes scholar, has been prominent in Delhi’s political scene. Known for her work in education reform, she has held key portfolios such as finance, education, public works department, and revenue4. Her leadership in these areas has been widely recognized, particularly her efforts to revamp Delhi’s government schools and introduce innovative programs like the “Happiness Curriculum”.
In his resignation speech, Kejriwal expressed confidence in Atishi’s ability to lead the city. “Atishi has been a pillar of strength for our party and government. Her dedication and vision for a better Delhi make her the ideal candidate to take over as Chief Minister,” he said.

The transition is expected to be smooth, with Atishi set to take the oath of office during a special Assembly session scheduled for September 26-274. Her appointment marks a historic moment, as she becomes one of the few women to hold the Chief Minister’s office in Delhi.
Atishi’s rise to the top post is seen as a strategic move by AAP to strengthen its position ahead of the upcoming elections. Her focus on education, environmental sustainability, and public welfare aligns with the party’s core values and promises to bring a fresh perspective to Delhi’s governance.
As Delhi prepares for this new chapter, citizens and political analysts alike are keenly watching how Atishi will navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Her leadership will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the future of the capital city.
