Dhami will be taking the CM oath for the second time. He was first elected as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand replacing Trivendra Singh Rawat on July 4, 2021 and served for less than a year as assembly elections were due. He had led the party’s poll campaign in the state as the Chief Minister during the Uttarakhand Assembly Elections 2022 but ended up losing his own seat from Khatima constituency to Congress candidate Bhuwan Chandra Kapri by a margin of 6,579 votes, raising speculations regarding whether he will be given the top job again. Dhami had won twice from the seat earlier.
Several names had cropped on who the next Uttarakhand Chief Minister will be including former Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, MLA Dhan Singh Rawat, Union Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt, Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj and Rajya Sabha member Anil Baluni. However, the newly-elected BJP party MLAs elected Pushkar Dhami as their party leader.
