Zoram People's Movement Party (ZPM)

The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) has emerged as a unique political party through the integration of established parties and the inclusion of members from a diverse range of backgrounds, including business, entertainment, sports, academia, and literature.

Unfortunately, some members of the ZPM may exhibit similar characteristics to previous politicians who prioritize their personal connections in government projects and contracts, resulting in a wastage of development funds and unfulfilled promises. Additionally, some members may resort to employing mavericks to spread misinformation on social media, offering small and inconsequential contracts to individuals, or distributing free money, such as giving money for buying meats for Sunday morning meals, in an attempt to secure votes. This is concerning as it may indicate a lack of interest in genuine development and may perpetuate corruption and nepotism.

In the current political climate, there have been few notable achievements by the ruling parties, with numerous accusations of project mismanagement, corruption, and nepotism. Criticism of the ruling parties is commonplace, with party members often becoming affluent immediately after their election. If the ZPM were to be elected, they would face an arduous task of rebuilding public trust and increasing government transparency. This would be particularly challenging as corruption and nepotism are entrenched in society, and individuals have already chosen their political affiliations. Only a handful of individuals remain impartial and base their voting decisions on the accomplishments of the nominated candidates.
