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 โ€˜reformation and developmentโ€™ of Mizoram by bringing dramatic changes to the stateโ€™s political system.

He said the ZPM, if it came to power, would establish a โ€˜peopleโ€™s governmentโ€™.

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 โ€˜city of churchesโ€™ if the ZPM is voted to power.
