Addressing the public meeting held at Hnam Run, former rebel chief, Zoramthanga said that his party defeat in the much awaited assembly election was the will of God.

" We kept praying to God to give us not what is our want or desired number of votes, but to give us MLA and votes according to His wish.

I thanked God for he gave us this much of MLA which he think is adequate for us", Zoramthanga said.

He extended his gratitude to all voters who helped his party won 5 seats in the Assembly and also all the officials without whose hard work election would have been unsuccessful.

MNF President also congratulated all the Congress winning candidates on their success in the election.

"I am very glad with their success and in this juncture wish them to form good government according to God's will", MNF President said.

" It is painful for one to have failed in the election.

"It appears as a political custom and routine practice in Mizoram that the rule of single party usually last 10 years.
