Mara Autonomous District Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC) is one of the three Autonomous District Councils within Mizoram state of Union India. Primarily, an autonomous administrative government meant for the Mara people living in the state. It is situated in the Southern tip of Mizoram state bordering Myanmar.
The government is led by an Independent Member of the District Council, Shri. N. Viakhu who formed coalition government with Maraland Democratic Front and Indian National Congress in 2005 election.
On December 2005, Independent Member of the District Council, Shri. N. Viakhu formally joined Mizo National Front (MNF) to lead a new MADC government formed by MNF with a simple majority. He was severely criticized for his nomination of four MNF workers to MDC nominated seats despite being the CEM of the Cong-MNF coalition government. The nomination allows MNF to enjoy a simple majority (15 - 11); otherwise Cong-MDF combine and MNF were tied at 11 elected members each.
