Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi will be the new Chief Minister of Delhi following incumbent Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation. The party unanimously agreed after Kejriwal proposed her name as his successor in a meeting of the party’s legislators on Tuesday. Kejriwal, who was released from jail on September 13, announced on Sunday that he would resign from the post and would only return if people give him a certificate of honesty. Atishi is a key face of the party as well as the government and holds multiple portfolios, including finance, education and PWD.
