Aizawl Municipal Corporation Election Scheduled for April 21 with 68 Candidates Contesting

The Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) election is scheduled for April 21, with vote counting on April 27, to fill 19 seats contested by 68 candidates, including 28 women. Major parties—Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), Mizo National Front (MNF), Congress, and BJP—are participating, with six wards reserved for women. The Mizoram Election Department introduced home voting for over 2,700 senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and chronically ill voters. The last AMC election in 2021 saw MNF winning 11 seats. These polls are viewed as a significant test for the recently formed ZPM government and other parties.
