AAP MLA Mukesh Ahlawat will be the new face in the Delhi Cabinet headed by Atishi, who will be sworn in as chief minister on September 21, and four ministers will be retained, the party said on Thursday.

It said Chief Minister-designate Atishi and her new Cabinet will take the oath of office on the same day.

Gopal Rai, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Kailash Gahlot and Imran Hussain, who are part of outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Council of Ministers, will be in the new Cabinet as well, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said here.

Atishi and Bharadwaj were inducted into the Kejriwal Cabinet after the AAP national convenor’s trusted lieutenants Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain resigned in February last year.

Mr Kejriwal resigned as Delhi Chief Minister earlier this week, after which Atishi, chosen by AAP as his successor, staked claim to form a new government.

Atishi holds 13 major portfolios in the Cabinet headed by Mr Kejriwal, finance, revenue, PWD and education. Her experience in handling so many portfolios was among the reasons she was picked to succeed Mr Kejriwal.
