With the announcement of the election dates, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) has come into immediate effect within the AMC jurisdiction.
Dr. Lalthlangliana clarified that the MCC is not intended to stall or disrupt ongoing government projects or developmental works. Instead, it is strictly implemented to ensure a "level playing field" for all political parties, including both the ruling and opposition fronts. He emphasized that the code is in place to prevent the ruling party from utilizing government machinery and resources to gain an unfair electoral advantage, thereby ensuring a fair election.
