Bangalore, May 25: The first ever BJP Government in the south will be sworn-in on May 28 with the party almost getting a majority, party sources said in Bangalore.

B S Yeddyurappa will take oath as chief minister, the sources said but refused to share further details.

The party, on the verge of winning 111 seats, just two short of the magic figure 113 required for a simple majority, said it has the support of four independents out of the seven who are close to victories.

The sources declined to name the independents who would back the BJP Government remarking "they are our rebels".

The election process ends by May 28 on the day the Commision was expected to notifiy the constitution of the 13th Legislative Assembly in Karnataka.
