The Telugu Desam Legislature Party and NDA partners have elected Naidu as their leader. Leaders of the NDA comprising TDP, BJP and Janasena would meet Governor S Abdul Nazeer and stake claim to form a government.
Naidu said, "All MLAs of BJP, Janasena, and TDP have given their consent for me to become Andhra Pradesh's upcoming Chief Minister of NDA government."
Both Naidu and Kalyan have staked a claim to form the NDA government in the state.
Some more leaders are likely to swear in tomorrow and it can include TDP general secretary and Naidu's son Nara Lokesh and Janasena leader N Manohar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other dignitaries are expected to attend the swearing-in ceremony. In the afternoon, Modi will fly to Bhubaneshwar to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the BJP government in the state.
Naidu first became the chief minister in 1995 and had three consecutive terms. His first two terms as chief minister were at the helm of united Andhra Pradesh, beginning in 1995 and ending in 2004, nine years at a stretch while the third term came post-bifurcation of the state.
In 2014, Naidu emerged as the first chief minister of bifurcated Andhra Pradesh and served it until 2019. He lost the 2019 polls to remain an opposition leader until 2024.
This will be his fourth term following a landslide victory of the NDA in the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections with a brute majority of 164 Assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats.
