After Zeliang’s Resignation, Liezitsu Sworn in as Nagaland CM

Liezitsu was chosen after TR Zeliang resigned on Sunday night, bowing to the demands of protesting tribal groups.

On Wednesday morning, Shurhozelie Liezitsu was sworn in as the new Nagaland Chief Minister by Governor PB Acharya.

The Naga People's Front (NPF) leader on Monday was elected the new legislature party leader of the ruling Democratic Alliance.

Liezitsu was elected after Chief Minister TR Zeliang resigned on Sunday night, bowing to the demands of protesting tribal groups who were opposed to his move to hold civic polls with 33 percent reservation for women.

Shurhozelie has been unanimously elected the new legislature party leader of the NPF and also of the government. If the Governor (PB Acharya) is not leaving Kohima for Arunachal Pradesh, we expect Shurhozelie to be sworn in on Monday evening.
