The Congress lost Mizoram to Mizo National Front's (MNF) which got 26 seats in the 40-member Assembly, the Election Commission (EC) sources said. The Congress, which had bagged 34 seats in the last assembly elections, managed only five this time. Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, who contested from Champhai South and Serchhip, has also lost both the seats. He lost Champhai to the MNF's TJ Lalnuntluanga, while Serchhip was snatched by Zoram People's Movement's (ZPM) chief ministerial candidate Lalduhoma. Zoramthanga is a former chief minister and will replace Lal Thanhawla this time as the exit polls have predicted. Lal Thanhawla first became the chief minister of Mizoram in 1984. Zoramthanga remained the chief minister for two consecutive terms from 1998 to 2008.
