The remaining candidates will be announced after a scheduled meeting between the state BJP leadership and NEDA convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma.
According to the list, Mizoram BJP President Professor JV Hluna will contest from Tawi constituency and he’ll be up against former Home Minister and the new MNF nominee R Lalzirliana. From Congress, Rosiamngheta will contest from Tawi constituency.
It may be mentioned, that the party got a big boost with the high profile campaigning by BJP national president Amit Shah kicking off the campaign in the poll bound state who addressed thousands of party workers in Aizawl’s R Dengthuama indoor stadium on October 17.
