The Chinland Council is the legislature of the self-governing polity the State of Chinland. It was formed on 6 December 2023 following the adoption of the Chinland Constitution by the Chinland Convention that was ratified by 235 representatives of various Chin communities from the Chin State.[1][2] The Chinland Council has 112 members variously from: the Chin National Front (CNF) (27), Chin officials elected for the now dissolved Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (13), and local administration organizations (68).[1]
The Council elected the first Government of Chinland on 1 February 2024.[3] Pu Pa Thang was appointed Prime Minister, the Vice Chair of the Chin National Front, Dr. Sui Khar, was appointed Foreign Minister,[4] and Pu Thawng Za Lian was made Defence Minister.
The formation of the Chin State government by the Chinland Council faced opposition from various Chin organizations. Despite warnings against hasty actions that could hinder Chin national unity, the government was established quickly. The Interim Chin National Consultative Council expressed objections on February 3, 2024, while the Zomi People's Central Council stated on February 9, 2024, that the new government would not represent the Zomi nationalities.[5]
