Cong Skids On Its Best Bad Roads

THE Congress is thrown out of power after two consecutive terms (2008-2018) in Mizoram. The Mizo National Front (MNF) which has been out of power since 2008 has come back with a majority of 26 seats. This election saw the BJP make its debut in the Mizoram assembly for the first time with one seat. The Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), which is a conglomeration of six local political groups, has won eight seats; its chief ministerial candidate Lalduhoma winning in two constituencies. Smaller parties not having enough punch such as PRISM and Zoram Thar also contested.
