NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has set a new record for the longest continuous tenure as CM in the state's history.
As of Monday, he completed 8 years, 4 months, and 10 days in office - surpassing the previous record held by Govind Ballabh Pant , who served a continuous term of 8 years and 127 days.
Pant was also the first chief minister of the state.
Adityanath, a BJP leader, is currently serving his second straight term as CM.
He was first appointed to the post in 2017 after the BJP secured a sweeping victory over the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party. His leadership replaced that of former CM Akhilesh Yadav .
In 2022, the BJP returned to power in the state, becoming the first party in 37 years to win consecutive terms in Uttar Pradesh -- a feat that enabled Adityanath to continue his tenure without interruption.
