Aizawl: After the defeat in four state elections, Congress today made a consolation  news by  winning the Mizoram state elections with a two thirds majority in the Assembly by clinging up 32 out of 39 seats, while Opposition MNF got five and MPC one. The Congress had won 32 seats in the 2008 Assembly elections in this Christian majority state.

Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, celebrated a fifth term victory from both Serchhip and Hrangturzo seats he contested.
