Tamang was sworn in at the Paljor Stadium in the state capital in the presence of at least 30,000 people.

Governor of Sikkim, Lakshman Prasad Acharya administered the oath to Tamang along with the Council of Ministers, consisting of 12 members.

SKM swept the state this time with the party winning 31 out of the total 32 assembly constituencies in Sikkim. The primary opposition party, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) managed to win just one seat.

This time BJP and Congress failed to open their accounts in the state.

It is noteworthy that Tamang had attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital on Sunday. He returned to Gangtok on Monday to take oath as Chief Minister.

The top SKM leader contested from two seats and won both the seats by a margin of 7,000 votes.

Tamang's wife Krishna Kumar Rai also won the state assembly elections this time.
