Aizawl, Nov 3, 2025: The Election Commission of India (ECI) will review the complaints against Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma and his adviser, Lorrain Lalpekliana Chinzah, for allegedly violating the election Model Code of Conduct during the Dampa Assembly bye-election campaign.
The case is based on a complaint filed by the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF), which accused the two leaders of breaking election rules. Both Lalduhoma and Chinzah were issued show-cause notices, and the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) has already submitted its explanation to the Chief Electoral Officer’s office, according to reports.
“The CEO’s office will study the explanation and send the case to the Election Commission of India on Monday for a final decision,” informed State Joint Chief Electoral Officer Rothangpuii.
According to the complaints, the Chief Minister announced a new Rs 770 crore water supply project at West Phaileng village on October 21. The project aims to build a dam at Reiek to provide water to Reiek and 14 nearby villages.
The complaint also states that Chinzah held free medical camps at Parvatui and Phulpui West villages on October 17, where medicines were distributed free of cost. The case has been sent to the District Election Officer (DEO) of Mamit district.
