Former Doordarshan Director General C. Lalrosanga of the Mizo National Front (MNF) and an Independent candidate, Lalnghinglova Hmar, are the two main contenders for the lone Lok Sabha seat in Mizoram.
Lalrosanga, 62, faces 41-year-old Hmar, who has been jointly nominated by the Congress and the influential Zoram People's Movement (ZPM).
But the spotlight will also be on two unusual contenders: 63-year-old Lalthlamuani, the first woman aspirant in a Mizoram parliamentary election, and 36-year-old T.B.C. Lalvenchhunga, a retired Indian Navy sailor.
