In a resounding triumph, the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) swept the Aizawl civic elections, claiming an impressive 17 of the 19 available wards. The Mizo National Front (MNF) and the Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) each secured one seat, while the BJP was left empty-handed.

As the countdown begins for the Aizawl Municipal Corporation elections, excitement is in the air with 68 hopefuls competing for 19 coveted wards. This election represents a pivotal moment for the ZPM government, which has recently stumbled in the electoral arena.

Pradyot Kishore Debbarman, leader of the Tipra Motha party, has revived his push for Greater Tipraland, now expanding his vision to include certain areas of Bangladesh. He asserts that this plan, bolstered by 'Thansa', will bring empowerment to the tribal population.

The stage is set for the Aizawl Municipal Corporation elections on April 21, with all 68 candidates meeting the requirements for the race. The leading parties, including the ruling ZPM, MNF, and Congress, are vying for all 19 wards, while the BJP has put forward candidates in 11.

NDTV's exit poll predicting a hung assembly in the Mizoram assembly election is hard to believe. Mizoram has never had a hung assembly before, with single parties or pre-poll alliances always emerging as clear winners. In the past, the Mizo Union, People's Conference, Congress, and MNF have won elections, sometimes with pre-poll alliances. The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) is confident of forming the next government, while the MNF believes it will regain power due to support from refugees and internally displaced persons. The Congress is uncertain about its performance in the post-Lal Thanhawla era, as the BJP expects to win 8 seats and be part of the government.
