The Chief Minister of Maharashtra is the head of the executive branch of the government of the state of Maharashtra, India. After the Legislative Assembly elections, the Governor invites the majority party to form the government and appoints the Chief Minister. If the appointee is not a member of the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council of Maharashtra, the Constitution stipulates that they must be elected within six months of taking the oath. The office of the CM is concurrent with that of the Legislative Assembly, provided the Chief Minister enjoys the confidence of the House and hence cannot hold office for more than five years.
