Dampa Bial By Election
The Dampa (ST) Assembly constituency in Mamit district, Mizoram, is heading for a crucial by-election in November 2025. The election was necessitated by the unfortunate demise of the sitting MLA, Lalrintluanga Sailo of the Mizo National Front (MNF), who had won the seat in the 2023 Assembly elections. The Election Commission of India has scheduled polling for November 11, 2025, and vote counting on November 14, 2025. This by-poll is drawing attention as it is seen as a key indicator of political trends in Mizoram, especially between the ruling Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) and the opposition MNF.

Total Bandh Called Off
Mizo National Front (MNF) called off its 10-hour shutdown at 1pm on Wednesday, citing overwhelming public support.
Party Hnatlang
MNF hnatlang can refer to the Mizo National Front (MNF) and its historical actions, which originated from the Mizo National Famine Front (MNFF) in 1961. This political organization was founded by Laldenga with the goal of achieving independence for Greater Mizoram and was involved in an armed struggle starting in 1966, a conflict that ended with the Mizoram Peace Accord of 1986. The term could also be interpreted as a more general reference to the party's current work, given that it is a major political force in Mizoram.

MNF Party in FCAA do dal
MNF leaders have asserted that the FCAA 2023 undermines Mizoram’s constitutional protections under Article 371(G), which bars any central law on ownership or land transfer without Assembly approval. The party also raised concerns about Section 1A of the amendment, which empowers the Centre to authorise “strategic and developmental projects” within 100 km of international borders, warning this could endanger local control over forest lands.
