The '''Governor of Kerala''' is the constitutional head of state of the southern Indian state of [[Kerala]]. The governor is appointed by the [[President of India]] for a term of five years, and holds office at the President's pleasure. The governor is ''[[de jure]]'' head of the [[Government of Kerala]]; all its executive actions are taken in the governor's name. However, the governor must act on the advice of the popularly elected council of ministers, headed by the [[Chief Minister of Kerala]], which thus holds ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority in the state. The [[Constitution of India]] also empowers the governor to act upon his or her own discretion, such as the ability to appoint or dismiss a [[ministry (collective executive)|ministry]], recommend [[President's rule]], or reserve bills for the President's assent. Over the years, the exercise of these discretionary powers have given rise to conflict between the elected chief minister and the [[Government of India|central government]]–appointed governor.<ref>[[Durga Das Basu]]. ''Introduction to the Constitution of India''. 1960. 20th edition, 2011 reprint. LexisNexis Butterworths Wadhwa Nagpur. {{ISBN|978-81-8038-559-9}}. p. 237, 241–44. Note: although the text talks about Indian state governments in general, it applies for the specific case of Kerala as well.</ref>

Since 6 September 2019, [[Arif Mohammad Khan]], is the [[Governor of Kerala]].

The '''[[Chief Minister (India)|Chief Minister]] of [[Sikkim]]''', an [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]], is the [[head of government|head]] of the [[Government of Sikkim]]. As per the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governor of Sikkim]] is the state's ''[[de jure]]'' head, but ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the [[Sikkim Legislative Assembly]], the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no [[term limit]]s.<ref name="term1" />

Since 1974, Sikkim has had five chief ministers. The first was [[Kazi Lhendup Dorjee]] of the [[Indian National Congress]]. [[Pawan Kumar Chamling]] of the [[Sikkim Democratic Front]] was the longest serving Chief Minister of Sikkim from 1994-2019. He occupied the office longer than all his predecessors put together and currently holds the record for longest serving CM in India. The 24 year old rule of [[Pawan Kumar Chamling]] ended in 2019 Vidhan Sabha elections where [[Sikkim Krantikari Morcha]] emerged victorious. [[Prem Singh Tamang]] became Chief Minister on 27 May 2019.
