Indian opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal picked Delhi minister Atishi to replace him as chief minister of the capital territory on Tuesday, allowing him to focus on winning a fresh mandate in elections due next year after getting bail in a graft case.

Atishi is set to become the third woman Chief Minister of Delhi, taking over from Arvind Kejriwal after the AAP chief stepped down from the post in a surprising move.

The President also cleared the appointment of 5 ministers and the oath-taking ceremony will take place at 4.30 pm at Raj Niwas

The swearing-in ceremony of AAP leader Atishi and her council of ministers will be held at Raj Niwas on Saturday afternoon, officials said.

Officials told PTI that AAP leader Atishi will take oath as the chief minister of Delhi on Saturday afternoon.

The swearing-in ceremony is likely to be a low-key affair as the mood in the party is not upbeat because of Kejriwal's resignation and also because of the delay in approvals, leaving little time for preparations,

Atishi will become the third woman to hold the position of Chief Minister of Delhi, following in the footsteps of Sushma Swaraj (BJP) and Sheila Dikshit (Congress).

Atishi, an AAP leader, is poised to take oath as Delhi's chief minister at Raj Niwas on Saturday evening. The precise timing of the ceremony is still under confirmation amid ongoing approval processes following Arvind Kejriwal's resignation.
