The year 2018 turned out to be quite a roller-coaster year for Mizoram. From Zoramthanga of MNF becoming Chief Minister to the new government imposing total prohibition of liquor in the Christian-majority State, it has been quite the year.
Notably, in the 40-member Assembly, the MNF bagged 26 seats in the polls. This is the third term that the MNF is forming government in Mizoram and after a gap of 10 years.
Zoramthanga’s MNF crushed Thanhawla, who had earlier successfully contested the Assembly elections a record nine time, this time lost in both constituencies — Champai South and Serchhip — from where he contested.
