Days after the Mizo National Front (MNF) snapped ties with ruling Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM), the Congress-MNF has staked claim to form the next executive body in the Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) in south Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district.

MNF media and publicity cell secretary Lallenmawia Jongte said the MNF and Congress reached a post-poll understanding and formed the United Legislature Party. The ULP elected C Lalsawmzuala of MNF as its leader, who staked claim to form the next executive committee in the 25-member council before state Governor Vijay Kumar Singh.
