The Fifth Lal Thanhawla ministry was the 12th council of ministers of the Indian state of Mizoram and the fifth ministry under chief minister Pu Lal Thanhawla of the Indian National Congress which was formed on 14 December 2013 following the party's decisive victory in the state legislative assembly election.[1] Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla returned to power for a consecutive second term and was sworn-in into office along with his cabinet on 14 December 2013 by Governor Vakkom Purushothaman.[2]
The ministry remained in office until the party's defeat in the 2018 election and the subsequent resignation of the chief minister.[3]
The ruling Indian National Congress party under the leadership of chief minister Lal Thanhawla returned to power for a second consecutive term after winning 34 of the 40 seats in the Mizoram Legislative Assembly. Following the party's victory, the chief minister was re-elected as the party's leader in the legislative assembly and subsequently sworn-in into office as chief minister for the fifth term.
