On 9 June 2024 Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term after the 2024 Lok Sabha election, in which the BJP fell short of a solo majority and the NDA formed the government.

Context

The President administered the oath. The Election Commission had notified results. A completed transfer after a certified election is a procedural resilience event. It does not rebate 2016 demonetisation and it does not authorise treating every later order as the certificate.

The 2024 electoral-bonds judgment is a neighbouring earlier court instrument. CAA rules in March 2024 are a neighbouring earlier implementation.

The Prime Minister of India is head of the Union Council of Ministers. Parliament writes statutes; the President assents; states and Union ministries implement; the Supreme Court can strike a scheme down. A prime minister can announce demonetisation, drive a bill, and take an oath. He does not write a UNFCCC depositary record, an ISRO telemetry file, or a Supreme Court judgment by himself.

Why it matters

The path is democratic resilience: a completed scheduled oath after a certified election is a procedural event, including a closer result than 2019.

What the sources establish

Prime Minister’s Office of India carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: a 9 June 2024 third-term oath after a certified 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The President administered it. The Election Commission had notified the result. Coalition partners then bargained.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Modi is sworn in for a third consecutive term as Prime Minister, not a later speech about Modi is sworn in for a third consecutive term as Prime Minister.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He took the oath. The President administered it. Coalition partners then bargained. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. The Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, the President, the Reserve Bank, state governments, the Election Commission, and foreign counterparties share specific files. Allegation is not a completed judgment. A Supreme Court striking-down is not a criminal conviction. A scheme notification is not a unique rupee coefficient. A UN pledge is not a delivered emissions path.
