Other members include the State Party Chairman, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief of Staff to the Governor, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Commissioner for Information and Culture, and the Deputy Chief of Staff (Legal Services). The State Party Secretary will serve as secretary.
Alignment with Vision
