Congress retains Mizoram
Highlights
Congress Retains Mizoram, Christian-dominated state, Assembly Elections. Counting in one seat, Lawngtlai East, could not be completed because of a problem in an EVM at Tialdawngilung polling station, Joint Chief Electoral Officer H. Lalengmawia told PTI.
Aizawl: After facing a debacle in four states, Congress on Monday got some good news in Mizoram where it won a two thirds majority in the Assembly elections snapping up 32 of 39 seats, while Opposition MNF secured five and MPC one.
The Congress had won 32 seats in the 2008 Assembly elections in the Christian-dominated state.
Counting in one seat, Lawngtlai East, could not be completed because of a problem in an EVM at Tialdawngilung polling station, Joint Chief Electoral Officer H. Lalengmawia told PTI.
A repoll would be held on December 11 and counting on December 12, he said.
Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, all set for a fifth term, won from both Serchhip and Hrangturzo seats he contested. In Serchhip, Thanhawla, who was elected to the Assembly for a record ninth time since 1978, won by a margin of 734 votes defeating his nearest Mizo National Front (MNF) rival Lalramzauva, who got 4,985 votes in a four-cornered contest.
