The decks have been cleared for Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar to become the state's next Chief Minister after Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot invited him to form the government.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held on June 3 at the Glass House in Lok Bhavan, Bengaluru, and is expected to take place between 4 pm and 5 pm.
Shivakumar's elevation comes after he was unanimously elected leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) at a meeting held in Bengaluru on Saturday, formally ending days of speculation over the party's leadership choice following its Assembly election victory.
