ZPM Senior Vice President W. Chhuanawma Seeks Leave Citing Health Concerns

W. Chhuanawma, senior vice president of Mizoram's ruling Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) and MLA from Tuichang, has requested leave from his party position due to ongoing health issues. He had considered stepping down last year but postponed it at the party's advice until after the Aizawl Municipal Corporation elections on April 21. Concurrently, Chief Minister Lalduhoma assumed the role of ZPM president during Lalliansawta's indefinite health-related leave. The party's executive committee will decide on Chhuanawma's leave and potential replacement on April 28.
