Mizoram’s outgoing chief minister Zoramthanga on Tuesday resigned as the Mizo National Front (MNF) president after a 33-year-long stint as its chief, following the party’s defeat in the assembly polls.<\/p>\n

Defying exit polls predictions, some had predicted a hung house in Mizoram, the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), which got registered as a political party only in 2019, won 27 of the 40 assembly constituencies in the state.<\/p>\n

The MNF got only 10 seats this election, down from its tally of 26 in the 2018 assembly polls.<\/p>\n

In his resignation letter sent to MNF senior vice president Tawnluia, Zoramthanga said he took moral responsibility as the president of the party for its poll debacle.<\/p>\n

“The MNF failed to win the state assembly polls. In this regard, I take moral responsibility as party chief. Considering that it is my obligation as the MNF president, I do hereby tender resignation from the president post and kindly request you to accept the same,” the 79-year-old leader said in the letter.<\/p>\n

The party, said an MNF leader, will hold a meeting on Wednesday to decide whether or not to accept Zoramthanga’s resignation.<\/p>\n

Zoramthanga, who succeeded Laldenga as MNF president in 1990, lost his Aizawl East-I seat to ZPM vice president Lalthansanga by a margin of 2,101 votes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
