Born on February 22, 1949, Lalduhoma has been serving as the sixth Chief Minister of Mizoram since December 8, 2023. Lalduhoma is also the founder and president of the Zoram Nationalist Party, a regional political party in Mizoram.
He was first elected to the Lok Sabha from Mizoram in 1984. When he left the Congress, he was disqualified from Parliament, becoming the first MP to be removed under the anti-defection law in India. He was chosen as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the first time in the 2018 Mizoram Assembly elections.
In 2020, he was disqualified as a member of the Legislative Assembly under the anti-defection law, the first such case in Indian state legislatures. His party won the 2023 Mizoram Assembly elections by a landslide, and he became Chief Minister. (Input: IANS)
