In May 2026, N. Rangasamy was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Puducherry for which consecutive term?
Fifth term
N. Rangasamy is the founder of the All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) and one of the longest-serving Chief Ministers of the Union Territory of Puducherry.
He first became Chief Minister in 2001 and was sworn in again in 2006 while with the Congress. After forming the AINRC in 2011, he became Chief Minister in 2011 and again in 2021.
So his swearing-in in May 2026, after the 2026 Puducherry Assembly election, began his fifth term as Chief Minister. Here the count is of his terms in sequence; they have not all been unbroken, since he was out of office from 2016 to 2021.
Counting the terms 2001, 2006, 2011, 2021 and 2026 gives five, so the 2026 term is not his third, fourth or sixth.
Hence, Fifth term.
