TR Zeliang, who was reappointed Chief Minister of Nagaland under dramatic circumstances.

 On Wednesday, has proven his majority in the house by winning the vote of confidence in the state assembly today.

 Mr Zeliang got 47 out of 59 votes. Mr Zeliang moved the Vote of Confidence in the Assembly as a legislator of the Naga People's Front, though he has been expelled from the party for six years. 

 Mr Zeliang was appointed chief minister for the second time under the third term of the NPF-led DAN government.

 He was compelled to step down as chief minister in February in the face of massive protest against his government for conducting elections to urban local bodies with 33 per cent reservation for women.

 He took over the mantle after incumbent chief minister Shurhozelie Liezietsu was dismissed by Governor PB Acharya.

 The Governor directed him to prove his majority in the Assembly by July 22.
