The National Democratic Alliance, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, will nominate its new members' leader on Friday, setting the stage for Modi to become prime minister for a record-breaking third term.

According to trusted sources, the swearing-in will probably take place on Sunday. Senior alliance members like N Chandrababu Naidu of the TDP, Nitish Kumar of JD(U), and Eknath Shinde of Shiv Sena will meet with President Droupadi Murmu after Modi is elected as the leader of the NDA MPs. The purpose of this meeting is to present the president with the list of parliamentarians who support Modi.
