Significance of Manipur’s Case in the Upcoming Election and Political Dynamics in Mizoram Elections
Zoramthanga’s Mizo National Front secured victory over the incumbent Congress in Mizoram. The BJP is striving to gain a significant presence in the North-Eastern states, and consequently, the Mizoram election holds considerable prestige for the party.
On November 23, 2023, Mizoram is gearing up for Assembly elections, holding the distinction of having the least number of seats contested among the five states. The state is set to conduct elections for 40 assembly seats, with 39 of these seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes, leaving only one seat open for the general category. Zoramthanga, the leader of the Mizo National Front, currently serves as the Chief Minister of Mizoram. The BJP faces a major electoral challenge against the ‘Mizoram Secular Alliance,’ comprising the Congress, Mizo National Front, and Joram People’s Party.
In the previous election, the Mizo National Front (MNF) secured victory by clinching 26 out of the total 40 assembly seats, triumphing over the ruling Congress under the leadership of Zoramthanga. The BJP is endeavoring to establish its influence in the North-Eastern states, thereby elevating the significance of the Mizoram election for the party.
During the 2018 assembly elections in Mizoram, the Mizo National Front (MNF) captured 26 seats, while the pre-election incumbent Congress secured 5 seats. The Mizo National Front secured a total vote percentage of 37.7, garnering 2,38,168 votes, while the Congress acquired 1,89,404 votes with a vote percentage of 29.98. Additionally, the Zoram People’s Movement obtained 1,44,925 votes, whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party managed to secure only 51,087 votes, resulting in the BJP winning just one seat in that election.
