Pramod Sawant of the Bhartiya Janata Party(BJP) took an oath as the Chief Minister of Goa at 2 AM necessitated by the death of former Goa CM Manohar parrikar due to prolonged illness. Stakes had been high for the BJP for gaining a majority after Congress staked its claim to power. The new government has two deputy chief ministers, Goa Forward Party chief Vijai Sardesai and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party MLA Sudin Dhavalikar.
Apart from the CM and his two deputies, nine other ministers of the state cabinet were also sworn in at the ceremony.
