Congress
Azole: The Congress announced retired Mizoram Police Service officer and former home secretary of the state Lalbyakjama as the party’s candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Voting for Mizoram’s lone Lok Sabha seat is scheduled for April 19. Congress state unit chief Lal Thanjara announced the appointment of Lalbyakjama as the party candidate in the presence of party leaders and journalists at the Congress Bhavan here.
Lalbyakjama told what the problem would be.
Lal Thanjara said that during the election campaign starting from March 28, the party would mainly focus on the preservation and protection of Mizo culture and religion. Lalbyakzma (64) expressed his commitment towards the welfare of the people of Mizoram when elected.
The MNF made Wanlalawina its candidate
Meanwhile, Mizoram’s main opposition party Mizo National Front (MNF) will field incumbent Rajya Sabha MP Vinalalvena for the state’s lone Lok Sabha seat. A senior MNF leader gave this information on Thursday. Vinalalveena (54) was elected to Mizoram’s sole Rajya Sabha seat in June 2020. He said that MNF’s current Lok Sabha member C Lalrosinga has chosen not to contest the election.
Earlier, MNF and Congress had held talks to form a pre-poll alliance to jointly fight against the ruling Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) but the talks failed.
