Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) today announced that the party would go it alone in the coming Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) polls likely to be held in November.
MNF president Zoramthanga told party workers at a meeting MNF office that contesting the coming polls alone would ensure formation of stable self-governments in AMC and LADC.
The party, he said, would nominate untainted candidates having excellent track records.
Meanwhile, ruling Congress has said that it would form alliance with Mizoram People's Conference(MPC) in the coming by-poll in Aizawl North III assembly seat and the elections to AMC.
Mizoram PCC Vice-president and state home minister R Lalzirliana told PTI that Congress has already announced its intention to forge electoral alliance with MPC, founded by the late former chief minister Brig Thenphunga Sailo in the coming AMC elections.
MPCC and MPC had formed a coalition in AMC after Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) withdrew support to the Congress-led AMC executive body and formed alliance with MNF.
