Mizoram Election Results 2023 Highlights: The votes polled for the assembly elections in Mizoram, which saw a three-way fight between the ruling MNF, the ZPM and the Congress, were counted today.

The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) stormed to power in the state, dethroning the Mizo National Front (MNF) by winning 27 seats of the 40 seats. The ruling MNF won 10 seats, the BJP two, while the Congress managed just one.

The counting was earlier scheduled to happen on Sunday along with Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Telangana. However, it was deferred by the Election Commission following appeals by political parties, NGOs, churches and students' bodies since Sunday is a significant day for the people of Mizoram - a Christian-majority state.

Five states - Mizoram, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana - went to polls this year, which is being viewed as the semi-final to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Voting was held in Madhya Pradesh on November 17. Rajasthan and Telangana voted in a single phase on November 25 and November 30 respectively. Chhattisgarh voted on November 7 and November 17.
