In a landmark moment in Indian political history, Yogi Adityanath has become the longest-serving Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, completing 8 years and 132 days in office as of July 25, 2025. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by freedom fighter and statesman Govind Ballabh Pant, whose cumulative tenure (including pre-Independence years) stood at 8 years and 127 days.
Yogi’s tenure has been continuous since March 2017, marking not just the longest overall, but also the longest uninterrupted term for any CM in Uttar Pradesh.
Adityanath, known for his decisive leadership, has led the state through a period of rapid infrastructure development, law and order reforms, and major investment summits. His leadership has earned both strong support and fierce criticism, placing him at the center of UP and national politics.
Govind Ballabh Pant — a key architect of modern Uttar Pradesh — served before and after India’s Independence. Yogi’s overtaking of his record places him in a historical league of his own, particularly given the state’s volatile political past and frequent government changes.
This milestone further cements Yogi Adityanath’s role as one of the most influential leaders in India’s current political landscape — and raises questions about his future ambitions beyond state politics.
