The ceremony, held at the Dorjee Khandu State Convention Centre, was attended by prominent political figures including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP President JP Nadda, and several chief ministers from neighboring states. Governor KT Parnaik administered the oath of office, marking a significant political moment for the northeastern state.

In addition to Khandu, eleven other MLAs took their oaths as ministers, with key figures such as Deputy CM Chowna Mein and former assembly speaker PD Sona making up the new cabinet. Notably, Dasanglu Pul was sworn in as the lone woman minister. The portfolios for the new cabinet members will be allocated later, followed by the first cabinet meeting of the new term.
