The Mizo National Front (MNF) is gearing up for the Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) elections, expressing strong confidence in its chances. Scheduled for April 21, the party plans to contest all 19 available seats, as announced during their manifesto release.
During the event, MNF MLA R Lalthangliana criticized the ruling Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) for allegedly postponing the elections and lacking the fortitude to face the polls on schedule. The AMC elections were slated to occur before the term's expiration on March 1.
In his remarks, Lalthangliana also accused the ZPM of replicating MNF's healthcare initiatives with minor tweaks. The MNF, ruling ZPM, and Congress have each fielded 19 candidates, while BJP nominated 11, with no candidate withdrawals. The voting on April 21 will involve more than 2.37 lakh eligible voters, with vote counting set for April 27.
