TR Zeliang appointed as New Nagaland chief minister

TR Zeliang was appointed the new chief minister of Nagaland by Governor PB Acharya after Chief Minister Shurhozelie Liezietsu and his supporters failed to turn up in the Assembly for the floor test on 19th July 2017. Following this, the House was adjourned sine die. Nagaland governor has asked Zeliang to prove his majority on the floor of the House on or before 22 July.

Governor P B Acharya had yesterday directed Speaker Imtiwapang to summon an emergent special session of the assembly at 9.30 am for the chief minister, who is facing a rebellion from MLAs of his party Nagaland Peoples Front (NPF), to seek confidence vote.
