Nine LADC members sworn into executive committee
Nine members of the Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) were sworn in to the executive committee on Monday. All members belong to the ruling Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) and are led by Chief Executive Member V Zirsanga. The new committee replaces a previous coalition led by the Mizo National Front and Congress, which was dissolved after key defections. ZPM now holds a majority with 13 members. V Zirsanga had resigned last year after a corruption conviction but has returned to lead the new committee. He was sentenced to four years in prison and fined in January 2024.
