Chief minister of Delhi - wikipedia Chief minister of Delhi Chief Minister of National Capital Territory of Delhi Incumbent Arvind Kejriwal since 14 February 2015 Appointer President of India on advice of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Inaugural holder Chaudhary Brahm Prakash Website Delhi Government The Chief Minister of Delhi is the chief executive of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in north India. According to the Constitution of India, the lieutenant governor is Delhi 's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with its chief minister. Following elections to the Delhi Legislative Assembly, the lieutenant governor usually invites the party with a majority of seats to form the government. The President of India, on the advice of the lieutenant 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. Since 1952 Delhi has had seven chief ministers, starting with the Indian National Congress party 's Chaudhary Brahm Prakash. Shortly after his term ended, the office of Chief Minister of Delhi was abolished for 37 years until December 1993, when the Bharatiya Janata Party 's Madan Lal Khurana was sworn in. In 1998 Sheila Dikshit 's 15 - year reign as chief minister began, the longest by an Indian woman. A 49 - day stint in office by the Aam Aadmi Party 's Arvind Kejriwal and a year under President 's rule followed. In February 2015 the Aam Aadmi Party was voted in with a large majority, and Kejriwal has served as Delhi 's chief minister ever since.
