The Governor has invited party's leaders and its newly-elected legislators to the swearing-in ceremony.
Yeddyurappa, 75, was elected for the 8th time from the Shikaripura assembly segment in Shivamogga district of Malnad region on May 12 when polling was held in 222 constituencies across the state. Results were declared on Tuesday.
