History

The inaugural governor of Chhattisgarh was retired Indian Police Service officer and former Bihar DGP Dinesh Nandan Sahay who served in office since the state's creation in November 2000 until he swapped positions with then Governor of Tripura Lieutenant General Krishna Mohan Seth (retired) in June 2003. Seth served in office until retiring in January 2007 and was succeeded by former Intelligence Bureau director E. S. L. Narasimhan. Narasimhan served as the state's governor until being permanently transferred as Governor of Andhra Pradesh in January 2010, a position he was holding on additional basis since December 2009 following the resignation of N. D. Tiwari. Following the transfer of Narasimhan, former Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt was appointed as the governor and he remained in office until resigning in June 2014.

Following Dutt's resignation, Madhya Pradesh governor Ram Naresh Yadav briefly acted as the state's governor. He was relieved of the additional duties following the appointment of Balram Das Tandon the following month. Tandon remained the governor until his demise in office on 14 August 2018, thus becoming the first and only sitting governor of the state to die in office. He was succeeded by Madhya Pradesh governor Anandiben Patel on acting basis who served till July the next year and was succeeded by Anusuiya Uikey. Uikey served as the state's governor until February 2023 and was transferred as Governor of Manipur and was succeeded by Andhra Pradesh governor Biswabhusan Harichandan. Harichandan has since then being the governor of the state.
