(Oklahoma City-AP) -- A bronze bust of outgoing Governor Keating will be unveiled Monday during a ceremony at the state Capitol.

The Republican governor is one of only two people to win back-to-back terms as Oklahoma governor.

The other was Democrat George Nigh. Republican Henry Bellmon also was elected twice -- in different decades.

Ponca City businessman Carl Renfro will be master of ceremonies and will unveil the Keating bust, which was sculpted by Ponca City artist Jo Saylors.

The bust will reside in the Hall of Governors on the second floor of the Capitol.

The bust collection was created in 1982 to mark the 75th anniversary of the state.
