In preparation for the upcoming Mizoram Assembly Election in 2023, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strategically appointed Union Minister for Earth Sciences, Kiren Rijiju, as the election in-charge for the state. The election, set to be held on November 7, marks a significant political event in the region.

Adding to their election team, the saffron party has also designated national secretary Anil Antony and Nagaland Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton as the party's co-in-charges for the Mizoram Assembly Election 2023. This move demonstrates the party's commitment to a strong campaign strategy.

Moreover, Jatinder Pal Malhotra has been appointed as the president of the BJP's Chattisgarh unit, signaling the party's dedication to expanding its influence beyond Mizoram. These appointments have received approval from the BJP chief, JP Nadda.

In the last Assembly Election in 2018, the Mizo National Front (MNF) emerged as the dominant party, securing 26 seats, while the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) managed to bag eight seats. The Congress, which was ousted from power, won five seats, and the BJP secured just one seat, indicating the fierce competition in Mizoram's political landscape.

Meanwhile, in anticipation of the upcoming Assembly Election, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to embark on a three-day campaign in Mizoram from October 16. During his visit, he will interact with the people, walk from the Chandmari junction to the Treasury Bhawan in Aizawl, and participate in various organizational and campaign-related events. This move is part of Congress's efforts to regain political foothold in the state.

The state Congress chief, Lalsawta, recently announced that the party would field candidates in all 40 Assembly seats. The Central Election Committee is expected to soon release the names of the candidates. Mizoram's political landscape is poised for an exciting and closely contested election in the coming months.
