State BJP President Vanlalmuaka said that he met Governor Vijay Kumar Singh and submitted a petition to claim majority in the council on Wednesday. Officials said that the governor has not yet decided. Vanlalmuaka hoped that Singh could announce the formation of a new BJP -led executive this week. He said that another MDC from ZPM joined BJP on Friday, which led to the total number of party in the council including Singh to 3. The BJP-MNF alliance with 11 members of MNF claimed that it had a majority with 14 members to form the next board in LADC.
Vanlalahuka said that C. Lalmuanantaga, the only Congress member, has also decided to support the proposed BJP-MNF coalition system. The number is 13 to form an executive committee in Lai Parishad. LADC is one of the three ADCs in the southern part of Mizoram, which was built in 1972 for the tribal people and its headquarters Laranjalai. The council has 25 elected members and 4 nominated members.
In the last LADC elections held in December 2020, the ruling party of the state won a majority by winning 20 out of 25 seats, since then LADC has seen a change at least four times, with the last ZPM -led executive committee headed by V Jirsanga, which was included on 27 February this year. Officials said that ZPM now has 10 members, MNF-11, BJP-3 (including Singh) and 1 member of Congress.
