Three Independent MLAs have pledged their support to Chief Minister Pema Khandu’s BJP-led government in Arunachal Pradesh. The MLAs – Laisam Simai, Wanglam Sawin, and Tenzin Nima Glow – submitted a formal letter of support to CM Khandu, as confirmed by BJP sources.
Expressing his appreciation, CM Khandu stated, “Heartfelt thanks to Independent MLAs Laisam Simai, Wanglam Sawin, and Shri Tenzin Nima Glow for their support to the BJP Government in Arunachal Pradesh. Your decision, as communicated through your letter, highlights your commitment to the State’s progress. Together, we will continue to work towards the development and prosperity of Arunachal Pradesh. Thank you for your trust and support. #StrongerTogether #ArunachalRising.”
Laisam Simai and Wanglam Sawin, re-elected from the Nampong and Khonsa East constituencies respectively, won their seats without party tickets in the April 19 elections. Tenzin Nima Glow, a first-time MLA, achieved a notable victory in the Thrizino-Buragaon assembly seat in West Kameng district, defeating two-time BJP MLA Kumsi Sidisow.
In the recent assembly elections, the BJP achieved a commanding victory with 46 out of 60 seats. The National People’s Party (NPP) won five seats, and the Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) secured three seats. The People’s Party of Arunachal won two seats, while the opposition Congress party managed to secure only one seat.
Both the NPP and NCP are part of the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA).
The addition of support from the independent MLAs further consolidates the strength of the Pema Khandu-led BJP government, enhancing its majority and ensuring greater stability in the State legislature.
