Zoram People's Movement Topples BJP in Mizoram's CADC

The BJP-led executive committee in Mizoram's Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) was ousted following a no-confidence motion. The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) gained the majority and is poised to claim leadership. Originally formed in 1972, CADC oversees governance for Chakma tribals.

The BJP's leadership in Mizoram's Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) came to an end as Molin Kumar Chakma was voted out in a no-confidence motion. This political shift occurred during a special session convened by CADC Chairman Lakkhan Chakma.

The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) now holds the majority with 16 members in the 20-member council, signaling its intention to form the next executive committee. The move follows 12 BJP members' defection to the ZPM.

The CADC, formed under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, administers legislative, executive, and judicial functions for the Chakma tribes. It is headquartered in Chawngte or Kamalangar, Lawngtlai district.
