President's rule was imposed in Delhi on February 17 last year, after Arvind Kejriwal resigned as chief minister and the President accepted his resignation.
In fresh elections, Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a historic victory sweeping 67 of the 70 seats and leaving BJP which emerged as the single-largest party last time with only 3 seats.
Kejriwal is set to take oath as chief minister along with his cabinet tomorrow at the historic Ramlila Maidan, the the protest venue of the anti-graft campaigners over three years ago.
This will be his second term as Delhi chief minister, after he resigned last February after running a 49-day government in the national capital with the support of Congress.
