The Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor. The Governor, who is the head of the state government, holds the authority to appoint the Chief Minister. This appointment is made after a political party or coalition of parties wins the majority of seats in the state assembly or legislative assembly elections. Once the Governor is satisfied with the majority support that the Chief Minister has, they appoint the Chief Minister to lead the government.

It is important to note that while the Governor appoints the Chief Minister, the actual selection is influenced by the party or coalition that has won the majority in the elections. The Governor is bound to appoint the leader of the majority party or coalition as the Chief Minister, as they are most likely to have the confidence of the majority of members in the legislative assembly.
