The ZPM, MNF and Congress fielded 19 candidates each this election.

Ruling Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) on Monday secured a landslide victory in the Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) polls and bagged 17 seats in the 19-member civic body.

The counting for the AMC polls was held in the Aizawl deputy commissioner’s office and the results were declared by the Mizoram State Election Commission.

Mizo National Front (MNF), the main opposition party, which had won the previous election in 2021 by securing 11 seats, had to settle for only one ward this time. The Congress party also bagged just one seat. Meanwhile, ZPM increased its seat count from the previous six seats in 2021.

The ZPM, MNF and Congress fielded 19 candidates each this election. The BJP, which contested 11 seats, drew a blank.

The Aizawl Municipal Corporation was established in 2010 under the Mizoram Municipalities Act, 2007. There are 19 wards in the civic body, of which six are reserved for women. All the reserved seats were bagged by the ZPM.

The first AMC polls held in 2010 were won by the Congress, while the MNF swept the subsequent two elections in 2015 and 2021.

A total of 62.77 per cent turnout out of 2.39 lakh voters was recorded in the civic polls held on April 21.
