Two of the new cabinet ministers were from the National League for Democracy (NLD), one was from the Zomi Congress for Democracy (ZCD), one was from the army and the final two were non-aligned academics.

The appointments are: U Wi Kaw from the NLD as Project and Financial Minister; U Shwe Ceu from the NLD as Transport Minister; U Pau Lun Hming Than from the ZCD as Social welfare Minister; Colonel Kyaw Kyaw from the army as Security and Border Affairs Minister. The two non aligned academics given ministerial posts were Salai Isac Khin who was made Municipal and Industrial Electricity Minister and U Mang Hil Dar who was appointed as Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Mining.

The previous government led by U Hung Ngei had nine cabinet ministers as opposed to the new NLD government, which only has six cabinet ministers.

The new Chin State Government also appointed U Sony Za Hu (aka Than Cung) as the Chin State Chief Magistrate and U Lal Tin Mang (aka David Lal Tin Mang) as the Chin State Chief Statistical Officer.

Salai Isac Khin wrote on his Facebook page on 8 April: "I will do my best to shoulder my responsibilities, but if people are disappointed in the way I carry out my duties I will be ready to leave my position and make way for others. I will work honestly for my country. At the same time I would like to invite you to help me in different ways as I have much work to do."
