Aizawl, July 8: In a significant political development in Mizoram, K. Beichhua, a senior Mizo National Front (MNF) leader who quit ministerial post last year, is all set to join the saffron brigade soon.
The senior MNF leader said on Saturday that he will join the BJP after the announcement of the election schedule for the 40-member Mizoram Assembly.
State BJP spokesman Johny Lalthanpuia also confirmed that the MNF leader will join the party and contest the polls from Siaha in south Mizoram as a BJP nominee.
Currently, BJP has one member in the Mizoram Assembly.
The BJP recently put up an impressive performance in the elections for the Village Councils (VCs) under the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC) by winning majority seats in 41 of the 99 VCs.
Beichhua joining the BJP will strengthen the saffron party ahead of the Assembly elections.
Beichhua was elected from the Siaha Assembly constituency as an MNF nominee for two consecutive terms since 2013.
