In 2023, the state of Mizoram has a new CM face in Lalduhoma of the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM). His party has emerged victorious in the Assembly Elections 2023 leaving MNF, BJP and Congress far behind.
Lalduhoma has had a long and diverse public life. He pursued BA from North East Hill University after which he joined the Indian Police Service. While in service, he went on to become the security in-charge for then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
He resigned from the service in 1984 and joined politics with the Indian National Congress, being elected as Lok Sabha MP later that year. He ended up becoming the first MP to be disqualified under the anti-defection law in 1988 after he resigned from the Congress.
Before the formation of the ZPM, he had been elected as MLA in 2003 from another party he had founded, the Zoram Nationalist Party.
With eight MLAs in the outgoing Assembly and victories in local elections since 2018 when the party was formed, the ZPM has found its feet in the state. In an interview to The Indian Express, Lalduhoma said he is confident his party can form the next government without outside support – crucial since they don’t want “bosses sitting in Delhi”.
Zoramthanga, the former CM, claimed that his party has constantly opposed the NDA government at the Centre on issues affecting the interest of minorities and Mizoram despite being in the alliance.
