The Congress Legislator Party ( CLP ) on Saturday
unanimously elected incumbent Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu as its leader paving
way for him to take over the reins of Arunachal Pradesh for a second time. According
to Congress sources, all 42 legislators unanimously voted for Khandu. Union Minister
of State for Planning V Narayanswami and senior party leader Luizinho Faleiro
were present at the CLP as the Central observers. Speaking to reporters, Narayanswami
said the CLP decision to elect Khandu as their leader will be conveyed to party
president Sonia Gandhi , and once a formal nod is given, he will take oath as
Chief Minister. The Congress won 42 seats in the 60-member legislature, eight
more than it had in the 2004 assembly elections. Khandu, a Monapa Buddhist leader
hailing from Tawang District first became Chief Minister in April 2007. He replaced
