Albert Rivera vs Lalduhoma

Rivera was a founding member of Ciudadanos, a centrist political party initially focused on opposing Catalan nationalism. The party later expanded nationally.

Rivera was elected the first leader of Ciudadanos, guiding its growth from a Catalan party to a national political force.

Under Rivera's leadership, Ciudadanos won 40 seats in the Spanish Congress in the 2015 general election, becoming the third-largest party. This marked the party's peak electoral success.

After a poor performance in the November 2019 general election, where Ciudadanos lost most of its seats, Rivera resigned as party leader. The party's decline was rapid.

Lalduhoma was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mizoram as a Congress candidate. His tenure in the lower house of Parliament marked his entry into national politics, though he later broke with the party.

Lalduhoma resigned from the Indian Police Service (IPS) to enter politics. As a former IPS officer, he brought administrative experience to his political career, initially joining the Indian National Congress.

Lalduhoma founded the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), a coalition of regional parties in Mizoram. The party aimed to challenge the dominance of the MNF and Congress, focusing on local issues and governance.

Lalduhoma led the ZPM to a decisive victory in the Mizoram Legislative Assembly election, defeating the incumbent MNF. He became Chief Minister, ending Zoramthanga's rule and marking a new political era in the state.
