In the Republic of India, aChief Ministeris the elected head of governmentof each of twenty-nine states and two union territories(Delhi and Puducherry). According to the Constitution of India, the Governoris a state's de jurehead, but de factoexecutive authority rests with the Chief Minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the Governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The Governor appoints and swears in the Chief Minister, whose council of ministersare collectively responsibleto the assembly. Based on the Westminster system, given that he retains the confidence of the assembly, the Chief Minister's term can last for the length of the assembly's life—a maximum of five years. There are no limits to the number of termsthat the Chief Minister can serve. [1]
