AIZAWL, Sept 3 - The Mizoram State Election Commission has announced that elections to 22 local councils under the Aizawl municipal areas and eight village councils where elections had earlier been deferred, will be conducted tomorrow.
Elections to the local bodies in these areas were deferred due to a surge in local transmission cases of COVID-19. Elections to the rest of the local bodies in the State were held on August 27.
In the elections to 550 village councils in nine districts and 59 local councils within Aizawl city area held on August 27, the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) registered a landslide victory by bagging majority in 324 village councils and 50 local councils.
State Election Commission Secretary Teresy Vanlalhruaii said that the poll panel was not in a position to conduct polling for the remaining seven local councils and three village councils on September 4 due to COVID-19 related issues.
