Leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party Numal Momin predicted on Saturday that the party would perform better and win six to eight seats in the Mizoram Assembly elections, which are scheduled for two days later. This time, the party’s vote share will also rise to 15%, according to Momin, the deputy speaker of the Assam Assembly and the BJP’s top campaigner in the only northeastern state out of the five that will hold elections next week. November 7 is the planned date of the 40-member Mizoram Assembly elections. On December 3, the votes will be tallied. The BJP ran for 39 seats in the 2018 Mizoram assembly election and received a vote share to win one seat.
“This time, the BJP’s vote share will also be increased, and it will go up to 15 per cent. We will win 6-8 seats in Mizoram this time,” Dr Numal Momin said.
He further said that, in this election, the BJP is fighting for the development and a better future of Mizoram.
“We are fighting in this election for infrastructure development, education, the health sector, and communication. This time, people are very upset with the present government. Many people come into contact with us. Many Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) leaders and the village council president joined us for development,” he said.
