The chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh is chief executive of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. As per the Constitution of India, the governor of Arunachal Pradesh is the state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[2] Pema Khandu of the Bharatiya Janata Party is the current incumbent. Chief Minister also serves as Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly.[3]

Timeline

Notes
[edit]- ↑ The Union Territory of Arunachal Pradesh existed from 21 January 1972 until 20 February 1987. It was created under the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, replacing the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA), which had previously been administered by the Government of India through the Governor of Assam. The creation of the Union Territory marked the beginning of representative government in the region, eventually leading to full statehood in 1987.
- 1 2 When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[4]
