Born on February 22, 1949, Lalduhoma's career has been defined by a transition from high-level law enforcement to the forefront of regional politics.
A former IPS officer, he famously served in the security detail of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi before resigning to enter politics.
He was elected to the Lok Sabha in 1984 on a Congress ticket.
From 2003, Lalduhoma has been elected to the state Assembly six times.
He led the newly floated Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) to a historic landslide victory in the last Assembly polls held in November 2024, unseating incumbent Mizo National Front (MNF) led former Chief Minister Zoramthanga.
