Uncommon card · No. 131768

The Government of Karnataka, abbreviated as GoK or GoKA, formerly known as Government of Mysore (1956–1974), is a democratically elected state body with the governor as the ceremonial head to govern the south Indian state of Karnataka. The governor, who is appointed by the president of India for a term of five years, appoints the chief minister and, on the advice of the chief minister, appoints their council of ministers. Even though the governor remains the ceremonial head of the state, the day-to-day running of the government is taken care of by the chief minister and their council of ministers in whom a great amount of legislative powers are vested. Since 3 June 2026 the government has been headed by D. K. Shivakumar of the Indian National Congress, who succeeded Siddaramaiah.
