Mizoram's ruling MNF faces tough fight from ZPM challenger as votes are counted today after exit polls predict hung assembly. The key contest is between CM Zoramthanga's MNF, seeking to retain power, and the newly formed ZPM alliance. While some exit polls predicted a ZPM sweep, most indicated no clear majority for any party. Zoramthanga projected as "guardian" of tribes, but faces anti-incumbency charges of corruption, unemployment, poor infrastructure. Counting deferred from yesterday after appeals from churches and others in Christian-majority state where Sunday is day of prayers.
