NEW DELHI: The Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) secured an absolute majority in the Mizoram Assembly elections by winning 27 seats in the 40-member House. The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) managed to win 10 seats, the BJP two and the Congress one seat.
The ZPM said it will stake claim to form the government after holding a consultative meeting of newly elected MLAs and senior party leaders. The 73-year-old former IPS officer Lalduhoma is set to become the new Chief Minister.
Chief Minister Zoramthanga lost the election in the Aizawl East-1 seat. The ZPM started as a common platform of six smaller regional parties and civil society groups in 2017. It was recognised as a regional party in 2019.
