The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is the chief executive of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. In accordance with the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]

Since 1953, there have been 19 chief ministers with the majority of them belonging to the Indian National Congress party. In 1953, Tanguturi Prakasam became the first chief minister of the Andhra state. In 1956, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy became the first chief minister of Andhra Pradesh post the re-organization of Indian states. The longest-serving chief minister was N. Chandrababu Naidu from Telugu Desam Party, who held the office for over thirteen years across multiple terms while N. Bhaskara Rao from the Congress had the shortest tenure of 31 days. Naidu was also the first chief minister of the state post the bifurcation of Telangana in 2014. Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy later became the President of India, while P. V. Narasimha Rao later became the Prime minister of India. There have been three instances of President's rule in Andhra Pradesh, most recently in 2014.

The current incumbent is Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of the YSR Congress since 30 May 2019.

Notes

  1. 1 2 3 President's rule may be imposed when the "government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution", which often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly. When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[3]
  2. ↑ After 58 years, the state was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states on 2 June 2014 by Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. After state reorganisation Andhra Pradesh Sasana sabha seats come down from 294 to 175 seats.
