The correct answer is Option B: Jawaharlal Nehru. Prime Minister Narendra Modi became India’s longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister on 10 June 2026 by completing 4,399 consecutive days in office. He surpassed Jawaharlal Nehru’s record of 4,398 consecutive days as Prime Minister. Jawaharlal Nehru served as Prime Minister continuously from 13 May 1952 to 27 May 1964. PM Narendra Modi first assumed office on 26 May 2014 after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s victory in the Lok Sabha elections. He became the first non-Congress Prime Minister to complete two consecutive full-majority terms in office. He is also the first Prime Minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to win three consecutive Lok Sabha elections in 2014, 2019, and 2024. Earlier, he surpassed Indira Gandhi’s uninterrupted tenure record of 4,077 days and Pawan Kumar Chamling’s record of 8,931 days in elected executive office. Jawaharlal Nehru still holds the record for the longest overall tenure as Prime Minister of India with 6,131 days in office.
