Mara autonomous district council 

2023

April 21, 2023: The Times of India

Aizawl: BJP swept the elections to retain office in the Mara autonomous district council of Mizoram by bagging 41 of the 99 village councils on Thursday—a victory seen as significant in the Christian-majority state that elects a new assembly later this year, reports HC Vanlalruata.


The latest election to the MADC was held Tuesday. Apart from BJP’s landslide win, MNF took 25 village councils, Congress won eight, ZPM got two and an independent candidate won in one.

There’s no clear majority in 22 village councils, which elect representatives to the MADC. One reason for BJP’s success is the resignation of minister of state K Beichhua on December 13 last year. Beichhua was asked to step down by CM Zoramthanga following the defection of some MNF members of district council considered to be close to the former, which resulted in the toppling of the MNF-Congress coalition in the MADC and putting BJP in office.
