AAP is planning to match its grand victory with an equally grand ceremony for Arvind Kejriwal to be sworn in as CM.

Newly-appointed AAP MLAs are likely to meet on Wednesday to elect the legislative party chief. The party will then stake claim with LG Anil Baijal to form the government. In 2015, the ceremony had taken place on February 14. The date is yet to be fixed this time.

According to the established procedure for a Union territory, once AAP stakes claim, the LG will write to the President through the home ministry explaining that AAP is eligible to form the government. The President will issue a warrant appointing the AAP legislative party chief as CM. In a full state, the governor appoints and swears in the CM.

The CM will then decide on his cabinet. In the case of Delhi, only seven ministers, including the CM, can be appointed. After the CM submits his list of cabinet ministers, the LG will administer the oath to the CM and his cabinet.
