Yogi Adityanath Becomes Longest-Serving UP CM with 7 Years and 148 Days of Continuous Tenure

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a record by leaving behind many strong Chief Ministers of the state like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav. He has become the Chief Minister who has held the longest continuous tenure in Uttar Pradesh.

Yogi Adityanath has made a new record of being the CM for 7 years and 148 days continuously. Before Yogi, Congress Chief Minister Dr. Sampurnanand has held this post for the longest time. Not only this, he has also become the first Chief Minister to hoist the flag at the Vidhan Bhawan of Uttar Pradesh for the eighth consecutive time.

Choudhary Charan Singh, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav are nowhere near CM Yogi. Mayawati took oath as the Chief Minister of UP four times while Mulayam Singh took oath three times, but still they could not establish this record.

BSP chief Mayawati took oath as the Chief Minister of UP four times but her entire tenure was of seven years and 16 days. Mulayam Singh Yadav became the Chief Minister three times. During this period, the total tenure of Mulayam Singh Yadav was six years and 274 days.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is counted among those leaders under whose leadership a party formed the government for the second consecutive time in the state. When Yogi took oath as Chief Minister on 25 March 2022, he broke the 37-year-old record of Narayan Dutt Tiwari. Narayan Dutt took oath as Chief Minister for the second time in undivided Uttar Pradesh in the year 1985. After the formation of Uttarakhand, Yogi is the first CM of the state who has come to power for the second consecutive time.
