Sawant was made the Chief Minister of Goa after Manohar Parrikar passed away on Sunday.
His last rites were performed on Monday.
He had been suffering from cancer.
The BJP reportedly convinced its partners to accept Pramod Sawant, who is the Goa Assembly Speaker, after much persuasion.
The BJP's allies include Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and Goa Forward Party (GFP).
The allies agreed to support the candidature of Sawant only after a deputy CMpost was promised to each party, reports said.
