Former Mizoram Chief Minister and PCC chief Lal Thanhawla was on Thursday re-elected as party president defeating his lone rival, former Finance minister John Lalsangzuala, by 700 votes.
Lal Thanhawla secured 1,142 votes while Lalsangzuala could manage to get only 442 votes on the first day of the two-day MPCC general assembly in Aizawl.
The former Chief Minister had held the post since 1973.
Lalsangzuala contested against him, as there were some senior leaders who wanted that the former should be replaced in order to revamp the party.
Sainghaka, MLA, and R Lalzirliana, MLA, were also elected with thumping majority as Vice-President and Treasurer respectively.
