The Chief Minister of Delhi is the head of the Government of the National Capital Territory (NCT) and is responsible for overseeing executive functions and implementing policies. As of February 20, 2025, Rekha Gupta has been appointed as the 9th Chief Minister, making her the fourth woman to hold this position. The Chief Minister plays a crucial role in governance, legislative leadership, and coordinating with the central government, especially since law and order, land, and policing in Delhi fall under the jurisdiction of the central government. The position of Chief Minister was first established in 1952, abolished in 1956, and later reinstated in 1993. Notable figures who previously held this position include Sheila Dikshit, who served for over 15 years, and Arvind Kejriwal. The Chief Minister is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and must command the confidence of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. The official residence is at 6, Flagstaff Road, Civil Lines, Delhi, and the administrative offices are located in the Delhi Secretariat. Rekha Gupta, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has had an extensive political career, including being the President of the Delhi University Students' Union in 1996, a three-time municipal councillor, and the mayor of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation. Her administration is expected to focus on urban challenges such as air and river pollution, infrastructure development, and public service improvements.
