As Mizoram gears up for the 2023 Assembly Elections, the state’s political landscape witnesses a fierce battle between Zoramthanga’s MNF, Congress, and the rising force of the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM). The traditional power struggle between MNF and Congress faces a new challenge as ZPM gains momentum, advocating a fresh political approach.
