The 1972 Mizoram Legislative Assembly election was a significant political event that marked the establishment of Mizoram as a state within the Indian Union. Held on 25 October 1972, this election was notable for being the first assembly election in the newly formed state, which was created following the reorganization of the state from the Union Territory of Mizoram. The election featured the Indian National Congress (INC) as the dominant political party, which aimed to consolidate its power in the region. A total of 30 seats were contested, with the INC winning a majority, leading to the formation of the government. The election not only reflected the political aspirations of the Mizo people but also set the stage for subsequent political developments in the state.
