Babu Kambhampati was sworn in as Odisha’s 27th governor at a ceremony held on Friday at the Raj Bhavan.
Kambhampati was sworn in by Orissa High Court Chief Justice Chakradhari Sharan Singh in the presence of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, Leader of the Opposition Naveen Patnaik, state ministers, MLAs, MPs, BJP leaders, and other dignitaries.
Kambhampati succeeded Raghubar Das, who just resigned from his position.
He was accorded a guard of honour immediately after the swearing-in ceremony.
Kambhampati arrived here on Thursday afternoon.
Soon after arriving at the airport, he and his family members visited the Jagannath Temple in Puri to seek the Lord’s blessings for the state and its people.
Kambhampati, a former governor of Mizoram, was appointed as the governor of Odisha by President Droupadi Murmu on December 24 last year.
