Breaking News: CoTU Sadar Hills Appoints New Leadership, Upgrading Drive Amid Key Consultative Meeting
As the Kuki-Zo community prepares to convene for the highly anticipated consultative meeting on April 1, the Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) Sadar Hills has undergone a crucial leadership reshuffle. The move comes ahead of the crucial meeting, which is expected to focus on advancing the Kuki-Zo community’s demand for a separate administration.
N. Sehjalien Gangte, a respected leader in the Kuki-Zo community, has been appointed as the new General Secretary of CoTU Sadar Hills. Gangte’s extensive experience in leadership roles, including stints as Secretary of CoTU’s relief committee, Joint Secretary in its executive body, and former General Secretary of Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills in 2015, has instilled confidence in his ability to lead the organization through this critical phase. His reputation as a seasoned leader has been solidified through his commitment to the community and dedication to its progress.
Thangkhomang Chongloi, a prominent youth leader, will join Gangte as Additional Vice Chairman. Currently overseeing Youth Affairs under Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills, Chongloi has been actively involved in mobilizing young people for community progress. His appointment is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the leadership duo.
The leadership transition was initiated by the resignation of the former General Secretary, Lamminlun Singsit, who stepped down due to personal family reasons. The appointment of Gangte and Chongloi has been met with unanimous approval from key tribal organizations, including Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills, Sadar Hills Chiefs’ Association, student bodies, and other stakeholders.
The new leaders were dedicated during a solemn ceremony officiated by Rev. Mangkholen Kipgen, who offered prayers for divine guidance in their roles. As the Kuki-Zo community prepares to convene for the consultative meeting on April 1, the appointment of Gangte and Chongloi is expected to bring a new level of energy and leadership to the CoTU.
