Ahead of her swearing-in ceremony, Delhi Chief Minister designate Atishi, along with leaders who will join her cabinet, met AAP supremo and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Atishi was chosen as the leader of the legislature party following a surprising announcement by Kejriwal that he would only return as chief minister if provided a 'certificate of honesty' by the people.
Atishi and AAP leaders Gopal Rai and Kailash Gahlot visited Kejriwal's Civil Lines residence ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, which is set to take place at 4.30 pm. The ceremony will be officiated by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena at Raj Niwas.
