In Mizoram, an electoral victory like never before

Hindustan Times  

History was scripted on Monday when the Zoram People’s Movement won the Mizoram assembly elections in a landslide victory. For the first time since Mizoram gained statehood, a political party other than the MNF or the Congress will form the government under a new chief minister. Mizoram’s electoral outcome stands apart from the general trend wherein the two national parties won four of the five states that held assembly elections in November. As a political movement formed by a confluence of six small parties including the Zoram Nationalist Party and Mizoram People’s Conference, the ZPM entered the electoral fray for the first time in 2018, winning eight urban constituencies in Aizawl by backing independent candidates. Among such first-time winners are ex-professional footballer Jeje Lalpekhlua, a former news anchor and Aizawl Municipal Corporation councillor 32-year-old Baryl Vanneihsangi Tlau, journalist and football administrator Lalnghinglova Hmar and retired naval petty officer TBC Lalvenchhunga.
