AIZAWL: Engineer-turned-politician Lalrinawma, who quit as Deputy Speaker of the Mizoram Assembly last week, would be taken charge in the Mizoram state cabinet headed by Chief Minister Zoramthanga tomorrow, December 20.
Officials on Monday stated that Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati would administer the oath of office to the 49-years-old ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) legislator Lalrinawma at a meeting to be held at Raj Bhavan on Tuesday.
On the instruction of the Chief Minister, Social Welfare and Tribal Affairs Minister K. Beichhua quit from his post on December 13.
Beichhua, who held excise and narcotics, social welfare and sericulture, veterinary, before his resignation, had mentioned that he was told to resign by Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga as he wanted to reshuffle the cabinet and portfolios.
The political impasse in Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC) in south Mizoram’s Siaha from where Beichhua was elected in the last assembly polls, is said to be the major reason leading to his resignation.
Elections to the 40-member Mizoram Assembly are expected to be held in November or December 2023.
