Former Governor Vakkom Purushothaman resigned on July 11 after he was transferred to Nagaland from Mizoram by the central government on sixth of July.

After Purushotham resigned, Kamla Beniwal who was the Governor of Gujarat was transferred to Mizoram. She was sacked as the Governor by the President citing 'misuse' of her position as Governor of Gujarat, which was at the time headed by current Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
