Chief Minister

Who is eligible to hold the position of Chief Minister?

●  The party or coalition group that wins a majority in this House following the general election selects its leader and notifies the governor of his choice. After that, the Governor asks him to form his Council of Ministers and formally appoints him as the Chief Minister.

●  The Governor typically asks the leader of the single largest party to form government when no party wins a clear majority in the State Legislative Assembly.

Tenure of CM:

●  The Chief Minister is supposed to serve as long as the Governor pleases. In reality, though, the Chief Minister holds his position for as long as he leads the majority in the State Legislative Assembly.

●  If he/she loses his majority support, the Governor has the authority to fire him.

●  He may also be dismissed by the State Legislative Assembly if a vote of no confidence is taken against him.

The Chief Minister’s authorities and duties:

●  To support and counsel the governor.

●  Leads the Council of Ministers.

●  He serves as the House Leader.

●  He is responsible for informing the governor of every decision made by the council of ministers regarding state governance.

●  He announces all of the policies on the house floor.

●  He suggests to the governor dissolving the legislative assembly.

●  He counsels the Governor on calling and occasionally postponing the State Legislative Assembly sessions.
