New Delhi: The Cabinet will include former journalist Manish Sisodia representing Patparganj, Malviya Nagar MLA Somnath Bharti, former journalist Rakhi Birla who is an MLA from Mangolpuri, Saurabh Bhardwaj from Greater Kailash, Satyendra Jain from Shakur Basti and Girish Soni from Madipur.
Former Congressman Vinod Kumar Binny representing Laxmi Nagar, who was expected to be in the Cabinet hasn't been given any ministry.
Kejriwal is all set to take over the Chief Minister of Delhi and will take oath on December 26 at Ramlila Maidan, the nerve centre of the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption agitation in 2011.
AAP on Monday ended the 15-day long speculation over the next government in Delhi by staking claim and announcing Kejriwal as the Chief Minister designate.
After surprising everyone with its spectacular political debut, AAP announced its decision to accept Congress's outside support to form a minority government in Delhi.
The decision came after a 5-day long exercise in which the party returned to the electorate with an unofficial referendum on whether to form a government or not.
AAP, which had won 28 seats in the 70-member Assembly, was the second party that met Lieutenant General Najeeb Jung to stake claim after the Bharatiya Janata Party which had won 32 seats refused to form the government due to lack of a majority.
