Political-rivals – the MNF and the Congress forged a post-poll alliance on May 16, days after political stalemate following the declaration of the council polls results.
The announcement of the results for the Mara autonomous district council threw up a hung house.
Mizoram BJP emerged as the single largest party in the MADC elections winning 12 seats.
On the other hand, the MNF bagged 9 and the Congress won 4 seats.
Notably, the MNF leadership welcomed the coalition.
However, the Mizoram Congress leadership opposed the coalition saying that show-cause notices would be served to party leaders in the Mara area and the four newly-elected Congress members.
