Mizoram Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati on Friday summoned an assembly session for three days, starting December 12, which will be presided over by pro-tem Speaker Lalfamkima.

The election of the new Speaker will be held on that day.

Lalfamkima, who was elected from the Kolasib constituency, was sworn in as the Pro-tem Speaker on Friday. The swearing-in ceremony of Lalduhoma, who took oath as the ninth CM of the state took place on Friday. He became the first non-Congress, non-MNF of the state.

Along with him, seven were sworn in as cabinet ministers and four as ministers of state, who were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati at a function held in Raj Bhavan in Aizawl.

ZPM legislature party deputy leader K Sapdanga was made the home minister.

With a 40-member assembly, Mizoram can have 12 ministers, including the chief minister.

The ZPM, which was registered as a political party only in 2019, emerged victorious in the assembly elections bagging 27 seats, wresting power from the Mizo National Front (MNF) headed by outgoing chief minister Zoramthanga.
