The Church in poll-bound Mizoram has clarified that it has no role to play in elections as it remains apolitical and doesn’t influence voting in any manner. In north-eastern states, particularly in the Christian majoritarian State of Mizoram, Churches are said to cast an influence on the voters and are considered as key centres that can make or break the fortune of any political party or candidate. Voters are said to be largely influenced by the view of the Church before going for voting. The Church, however, has clarified that it doesn’t interfere in any manner in the election process, adding that it is solely upon the people of the state to decide the fate of political parties through voting.
