Mizoram Polls: CM & Deputy CM Loses

In the Mizoram Assembly elections held on November 7 for the 40 seats, the battle was closely contested among key players like the Mizo National Front (MNF), Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), Congress, and BJP. Notably, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga, an MNF candidate, lost to ZPM’s Lalthansanga by 2,101 votes in the Aizwal East-1 seat.

Lalthansanga secured 10,727 votes, while Zoramthanga received 8,626 votes. Other significant losses include Deputy Chief Minister Tawnluia, Health Minister R Lalthangliana, and Rural Development Minister Laruatkima, all from MNF, in various constituencies.

This is a big blow to the MNF party and ZPM is all set to form the government in the state.
