Suvendu Adhikari, the newly elected Chief Minister of West Bengal, will hold his first cabinet meeting on May 11, 2026, at Nabanna, the state's administrative headquarters. This meeting will mark his first entry into Nabanna as Chief Minister. During this session, portfolios will be assigned to five ministers who were sworn in alongside him on May 9.
