Maraland Democratic Front is a regional political party in the Indian state of Mizoram. The party is active amongst the Mara people in the southern part of the state. The party runs the Mara Autonomous District Council (one of three autonomous districts in Mizoram) together with Indian National Congress.
In the state assembly elections in Mizoram in 2003, the MDF put up candidates in two constituencies (out of 40 in total in the state). The party president and founder P.P. Thawla was able to get elected from Tuipang. P.P. Thawla participated in the MNF-led state government, and was minister for Excise and Soil & Water conservation but later resigned because of a decrease in the number of cabinet ministers.
In the 2008 Mizoram assembly election, P.P. Thawla won the Palak seat with 4206 votes (33.37%).[1] He will again be the only representative of his party in the Mizoram Assembly.
