Rekha Gupta, a former president of the Delhi University Students' Union, is the fourth woman Chief Minister of Delhi, the BJP announced Wednesday evening, ending a nearly two-week suspense.
BJP's Sushma Swaraj, Congress' Sheila Dikshit, and Aam Aadmi Party's Atishi have been other women chief ministers of Delhi.
The 50-year-old, who is a first-time MLA from Shalimar Bagh, defeated AAP candidate Bandna Kumari by over 29,000 votes in the February 5 Assembly polls. Mr Gupta will take oath at a grand swearing-in ceremony at the city's iconic Ramlila Maidan at noon tomorrow.
The BJP won 48 seats in the polls, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years.
