Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court Vipin Sanghi will administer the oath of office to Mr Saxena, 64, in a ceremony set to begin at 11 a.m.
Mr Saxena, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) head, was named Lt Governor of Delhi earlier this week after his predecessor Anil Baijal’s retirement for “personal reasons.”
According to reports, the oath-taking event has been invited to ten Union ministers, including Home Minister Amit Shah.
