Notably, MPC has one sitting MLA in the present government.
Addressing a function to mark the announcement of chief ministerial candidate on Tuesday at the Chanmari YMA hall in Aizawl, the former MP from Mizoram Lalduhoma pledged ‘reformation and development’ of Mizoram by bringing dramatic changes to the state’s political system.
He said the ZPM, if it came to power, would establish a ‘people’s government’.
The IPS officer-turned-politician said he would give his best to become an ideal Chief Minister and fulfil the aspirations of the people.
The 69-year-old leader from Chawlhhmun said Aizawl will be declared as a ‘city of churches’ if the ZPM is voted to power.
