Mizoram Chief Minister and ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) president Zoramthanga on Friday exuded confidence that his party will retain power and win more than 25 seats in the 40-member assembly in the upcoming elections. Speaking to reporters after filing his nomination from the Aizawl East-1 seat, Zoramthanga said that the main opposition party Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), rather than the Congress, poses a potential threat to the MNF.
