List of chief ministers from the Communist Party of India (Marxist)
As of August 2013, eight leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) have held the post of chief minister. A chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-nine states and two union territories. According to the Constitution of India, at the state-level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the 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 he has the assembly's confidence, the chief minister's term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms he/she can serve.[1]
