The Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) in Mizoram’s Lawngtlai District has finally attained its new Chief Executive Member (CEM) on Thursday; after a month of political deadlock owing to internal disagreement.

Buddha Lila Chakma, was sworn-in as the new CEM, following his resignation from the office of the CADC chairman on May 2022.

The Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Lawngtlai – Amol Srivastava administered the oath of office and secrecy to Chakma during a oath-taking ceremony held today at the CADC rest house.

According to reports, Buddha Lila Chakma will replace incumbent Rasik Mohan Chakma, who was ousted in a no-confidence motion during the first council budget session held on May 9.

It’s worth noting that the Mizoram Governor – Hari Babu Kambhampati, has previously advocated the imposition of Governor’s control in CADC due to internal struggle among the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF).
