	'Mizos have had enough of Cong, MNF' - Sify.com
		The Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) president Pu Lalduhawma attacked the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) saying they would be an insignificant opponent in the forthcoming Assembly elections in Mizoram.
		Asked about his party’s chances in the coming elections, Lalduhawma said the Mizo people and the masses in general who had enough of the Congress and MNF parties were looking for a better party to form the government in the near future.
		On the contrary, formation of ministry is dependent upon the votes of neutralists." Although he was sure that the ZNP was the largest political party in the State, Lalduhawma believes it is not the weightage of the party but the neutralists' votes which will be a key factor in government formation.

		The colors are the same as chosen for the flag of MNF, and the cross is a popular symbol of Christianity (beside the "Star of David") among overwhelmingly Christian Mizos - Presbyterians, Baptists, Roman Catholics and members of the Salvation Army.
		The Zoram Nationalist Party, which was formed in 1997 after the split from the Mizo National Front, uses twelve-pointed star (or sun) as its electoral symbol, so it is very probable that the flag is already adopted as Jaume shows.
		Notice that some parties in India have two flags: the party flag and the electoral flag, both similar but the latter one bearing the election symbol, while the party flag does not always have the electoral symbol on it.

	The Hindu : The incumbency factor
		THE VICTORY OF the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) in the Mizoram Assembly elections, giving the party a second successive term in office, has shown that anti-incumbency may be an overused rule of thumb by politicians and pundits.
		The party won 21 of the 40 Assembly seats, the same number it had the last time.
		From the verdict, it is clear that the people of Mizoram view the MNF as the party that, after waging an insurgent war against the Centre for 20 years, brought peace for the Mizos through the 1986 accord with New Delhi and also helped keep it.

	Insurgents’ haven :: zoram.com :: The First Mizo Portal
		The subject being brought up by ZNP in the House on Thursday says a lot of things and the loudest message is that the Congress had not been voicing empty accusations and that other political parties are becoming concerned over other states’ insurgents having free rein in Mizoram.
		What had not been voiced but is a concern for opposition political parties is that the MNF party could be nurturing these underground elements for use in the state assembly elections that is now only two years away.
		It would be very sad for the state if political parties in their bid to power in elections make use of insurgent groups because then it would not be a free and fair election.

		In a press statement, the Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) said, "Gujarat is the State where Christians were persecuted 120 times last year." While expressing sympathy with the victims of the quake, the party asked the BJP-led coalition at the Centre to ensure that the rights of the minorities were protected.
		While supporting former Karnataka minister T John for his statement that Gujarat was being punished for ill-treating the Christians, ZNP leader Andrew Lalherliana said the Karnataka Chief Minister could have reprimanded the minister but booking him under Section 153 (a) of the IPC was a "knee-jerk" reaction.
		Extending a similar warning, Samata Party leader Radhabinod Koijam also said the ongoing ceasefire between the Centre and the NSCN(I-M) should be limited to Nagaland.
