Mizo National Front (MNF) president Zoramthanga on Saturday took oath as the Chief Minister of Mizoram after the party swept in the assembly polls in the state.
Mizoram governor K Rajasekharan administered the oath of office and secrecy to Zoramthanga and his council ministers at the ceremony held at Raj Bhawan in Aizawl.
Earlier, Zoramthanga held the position in between 1998 to 2008.
The MNF returned to power in Mizoram after a decade by winning 26 seats of the 40-member Mizoram Legislative Assembly and the party’s massive victory in the Christian majority state uprooted the Congress’s last bastion in the northeast.
In recent assembly polls, the MNF won 26 seats, while the Congress had managed to get only five compared to 34 in 2013.
