The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday appointed former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and its national general secretary Tarun Chugh as central observers for a crucial meeting in Arunachal Pradesh. The objective is to elect the state's next chief minister.

According to a party statement, Prasad and Chugh will supervise the meeting where the MLAs are set to choose their new leader. The two leaders are expected to arrive in Itanagar on Wednesday for the proceedings.

The BJP recently returned to power in the northeastern state, securing 46 seats in the 60-member assembly. Sources indicate that the incumbent chief minister, Pema Khandu, may likely retain his position.
