Aizawl: The opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) on Wednesday welcomed the Voter Verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) for the EVMs.

Wing Commander Joe Lalhmingliana, adviser of the MNF said that after witnessing the field trial of the VVPAT system conducted by the Election Commission at Cherrapunji (Meghalaya) last week, the MNF leaders were convinced that it would be more reliable than the conventional EVM.

Lalhmingliana claimed that the Election Commission, which was earlier adamant on the allegations of the EVMs being liable to be tampered, “now admitted that the machines could be tampered especially after the party chief and former chief minister Zoramthanga made complaints to the commission.” (PTI)
