List of Chief Ministers of Uttar Pradesh

In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each state out of the 28 states and sometimes a union territory. According to the Constitution of India, the Governor is a state’s head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister.

The governor appoints and swears in the chief minister, whose council of ministers is collectively responsible to the assembly.
