The ruling Peoples Party of Arunachal on Friday is likely to name Takam Pario, the richest MLA in Arunachal Pradesh with declared assets of Rs 187 crore, as its leader in the assembly as well as the chief minister of the northeastern state, a senior party leader said.

With continuous protests within the Peoples Party of Arunachal  against the leadership of Pema Khandu, the present chief minister of the state, the party president sent a letter to the Speaker and Governor informing them that the CM and six MLA's have been suspended from the party.

The party will now meet on Friday around 2 pm to decide the new face of leadership in the state and next chief minister too.

Peoples Party of Arunachal president Khafa Bengia said the party is not happy with the leadership of Pema Khandu, and that he has not been able to take the party into confidence on policy decisions.
