Mann will take oath alone on Wednesday, said AAP party sources.

The Punjab cabinet can have 18 ministers including the chief minister.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other senior party leaders will take part in the swearing-in ceremony.

The Aam Aadmi Party romped home winning 92 seats in the 117-member Punjab Assembly, decimating the
Congress and the SAD-BSP combine.

Officials are expecting over 3 lakh people to attend the event.

Mann, the Chief Minister-designate, had invited the people of the state to attend his oath-taking ceremony, saying
it’s not he alone, but 3 crore people of Punjab will also take oath with him.

including Inspector General and Senior Superintendent Police rank officers, have been deputed for the event.

Around 8,000 to 10,000 security personnel have been deployed for the event, said the officials.
