The Arunachal Pradesh unit of National People's Party (NPP) on Sunday unanimously elected Roing MLA Mutchu Mithi as its legislature party leader in the state Assembly.
The NPP has won five seats in the state Assembly election.
The decision to elect Mithi as the legislature party leader was taken in a meeting held in New Delhi under the chairmanship of NPP president Conrad Sangma which was also attended by the newly elected MLAs of the party along with state unit president Gicho Kabak, a party release said.
The meeting congratulated Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu for winning 41 seats in the state Assembly election.
The NPP hoped that the BJP government in the state would work for the all round development of the state.
Sangma assured the party leaders of the state to visit family members of party MLA Tirong Aboh and others who were killed by suspected NSCN militants at Khonsa on May 21 last.
Aboh had won the Khonsa West seat as a NPP candidate this time.
Sangma, who is also the chief minister of Meghalaya would also attend the oath taking ceremony of Khandu which is likely to held on May 29 next, party sources said.
