Mizoram's TV anchor becomes MLA, three women reach assembly for the first time
Mizoram Woman Mla Mizoram Election Results: Mizoram created history on Monday when for the first time three women candidates were elected to the 40-member assembly.
Mizoram Assembly elections have not only changed the party but also changed the tradition. For the first time, three women MLAs have been elected in this north-eastern state. The number of assembly members in Mizoram is 40. Now three women will also be seen leading their assemblies.
Zoram People's Movement candidate Lalrinpui won from the Lunglei East constituency. The same party's candidate and television anchor Beryl Wanneihsangi Aizawi was elected from the South-3 seat. Apart from this, Pravo Chakma of Mizo National Front won from the West Tuipui seat.
Lalrinpui and Pravo defeated Congress male candidates while Baril Vanneihsangi defeated her MNF rival. The Christian-dominated Mizo society has a patriarchal culture. Mizoram's main political parties have rarely nominated women candidates in the Lok Sabha and assembly elections. No woman candidate won the elections in 2013 and 2018.
