chief minister
State government head
Chief minister is the head of government in a state, province, or region within a larger nation—particularly in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and other Commonwealth countries.
The chief minister leads the elected government at the subnational level, analogous to a prime minister but for a constituent state rather than the whole country: The chief minister of Punjab announced new agricultural reforms.
