Mizoram Assembly Polls Today: A Look At Key Candidates

As The Northeastern State Gets Ready For Tuesday’s Elections, All Eyes Are On The Well-Known Candidates Who Are Working Very Hard To Win The Mizoram Assembly Elections For Their Various Parties.

One Of The Most Well-Known Candidates In This Election Is Zoramthanga, The Chief Minister And President Of The Mizo National Front (MNF). Zoramthanga, Who Won Aizawl East – I In The 2018 Assembly Elections, Is Running From The Same Seat This Time Around.

Positioning Themselves As The Main Opposition In This Election, The Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) Has Selected Lalthansanga, The Vice President Of Their Party, To Run Against The Three-Term Chief Minister.

Lalsanglura Ralte, A Novice Contender, Has Been Selected By The Congress To Challenge The Chief Minister.

Second In Leadership To MNF Founder Laldenga, Zoramthanga Had Previously Held The Position Of Chief Minister From 1998 To 2008 And Again From 2018 Onwards Following The State’s Overthrow Of The Congress Government, Which Had Ruled The Region For Ten Years.

He Received 42.9% Of The Vote In The 2018 State Assembly Elections, Which Was More Than Enough To Defeat Independent Candidate K Sapdanga (30%) And Congress Candidate K Vanlalrawna (24.5%).

ZPM Chairman Lalduhoma, The Chief Ministerial Candidate For The Party, Will Run From Serchhip, Where He Currently Serves As An MLA.

Lalduhoma Received 35.4% Of The Vote In 2018, More Than Lal Thanhawla (32.7%), The Candidate For Congress

J Malsawmzual Vanchhawng, An MNF Rookie, Will Face Lalduhoma. R Vanlaltluanga, A Serchhip Native Who Unsuccessfully Ran For Assembly In 2013, Has Been Nominated By The Congress.

Former Mizoram IPS Officer Lalduhoma Was Elected As A Lok Sabha MP In 1984. He Is The Founder Of The ZNP And Was Chosen As The First Chief Ministerial Candidate Of The ZNP-Led Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) Coalition In The 2018 Assembly Polls.

Leading Candidate In The Mizoram Polls Is Lalsawta, The Chief Of The State Congress, Who Is Running From Aizawl West-III. Lalsawta Is Competing Against MNF Candidate K Sawmvela And ZPM Candidate VL Zaithanzama.

From Aizawl East II, Lalsawta Won The State Elections In 2008 And 2013. But In 2018, Robert Romawia Royte Of MNF Won The Seat. Lalsawta Was Only Able To Secure 26.9% Of The Vote, While MNF Secured The Seat With 41.4% Of The Total.

Lalsawta Served As Mizoram’s Minister Of Finance From 2008 Till 2018. In2021, He Was Chosen To Lead The Pradesh Congress Committee, Taking Over From Mizoram’s Longest-Serving Chief Minister, Lal Thanhawla.

In The 2018 State Assembly Elections, The Bharatiya Janata Party Made A Splash By Winning One Seat, Has A Key Candidate In Vanlalhmuaka, The Party’s State President, Who Will Be Contesting The Polls From Dampa Constituency.

Tawnluia, The Vice President Of The MNF And Deputy Chief Minister Of Mizoram, Will Run From Tuichang. Tawnluia, Who Is Eighty Years Old, Is The Oldest Contender. When He Ran From The Same Seat In The 2018 Assembly Elections, The Deputy CM Was Also The Oldest Contender. Tawnluia Will Face Opposition From W Chhuanawma Of ZPM.
