Chief Ministers of Odisha

The leader of the Odisha government is the state of India’s Chief Minister. The chief minister has executive authority, although the governor is the state’s head of government according to the Indian Constitution. The party (or alliance) with the majority of seats is often invited by the governor to form the government following elections for the Odisha Legislative Assembly. The chief minister is chosen by the governor, and the assembly holds the chief minister’s council of ministers collectively accountable. The chief minister’s term runs for five years and is unrestricted due to the assembly’s confidence in him.
