AIZAWL, April 16 – Mizoram recorded a low voter turnout of 47 per cent today for the lone Lok Sabha seat in the state, which will decide the fate of four candidates. “The 47 per cent polling figure is provisional as some polling stations in the remote areas remained incommunicado and the final poll percentage might touch 50,” state Joint Chief Electoral Officer Lalhmingthanga said, adding that the percentage of turnout in the last parliamentary polls in 2004 was 63.38.
Brisk polling was witnessed in the first hours of polling, but voters thinned out during the hot midday hours and again picked up a bit in in the late afternoon.
The fate of C L Ruala of the Congress, H Lallungmuana, an independent candidate sponsored by the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) and the Mizoram People’s Conference (MPC) combine, Rualpawla an independent and Lalawmpuia Chhangte of the NCP were sealed in EVMs.
