PM Narendra Modi has officially become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India, completing 4,399 days in office as of June 10, 2026. He surpassed the previous record held by Jawaharlal Nehru, who served for 4,398 days. Modi took the oath of office on May 26, 2014, and this marks his third consecutive term as Prime Minister.
In Delhi, an NDA meeting is scheduled to commemorate Modi's achievement and discuss key agendas. Leaders from NDA-governed states, BJP leadership, and allied parties will attend the meeting at Bharat Mandapam. The agenda includes passing a congratulatory resolution for Modi, discussing the 'Developed India-2047' roadmap, improving coordination between the Centre and states, and advancing development projects, ease of living, and ease of doing business.
The distinction between continuous tenure and total tenure was highlighted. Continuous tenure refers to uninterrupted service in a position, as exemplified by Modi's ongoing term since 2014. Total tenure accounts for cumulative service across separate periods, such as Atal Bihari Vajpayee's three terms as Prime Minister.
Modi has received 31 international honors during his tenure, including Saudi Arabia's 'Order of King Abdulaziz' in 2016 and Norway's 'Grand Cross of Royal Norwegian Order of Merit.' He has addressed parliaments in 15 countries and undertaken 100 foreign trips since 2014, visiting the US, UAE, and Japan eight times each.
