MNF and ZPM to battle for Dampa bye-election seat
The Dampa constituency in Mizoram is having a special election because the person who used to represent them passed away.
The main people running are Dr. R Lalthangliana from the MNF party and Vanlalsailova from the ZPM party.
This election is very important for the MNF because if they lose, they might not be able to have a leader in the assembly.
Vanlalsailova almost won last time, so people expect a close race.
Other parties like Congress and BJP haven't picked their candidates yet.
The election will be mainly between the MNF and ZPM.
For MNF, winning is key to their power, and for ZPM, winning would help them stay in charge.
MNF nominated R Lalthangliana for the Dampa by-election.
The election is due to the death of Lalrintluanga Sailo.
MNF risks losing its Leader of Opposition post if they lose.
ZPM candidate Vanlalsailova narrowly lost the 2023 election.
The election is seen as a contest between MNF and ZPM.
