New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be sworn in for a third term on the evening of June 9, said the spokesperson of National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA won 293 seats in the general election held over the last seven weeks.

It is the first time in a decade that Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has needed the support of regional parties to form the government.

The party, which had a handsome majority in the previous two terms, secured only 240 seats in the lower house of parliament, far short of the 272 needed to govern on its own.

Modi will be only the second person after India’s independence hero and first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to hold office for three consecutive terms.
