Rochhinga, 108, was considered to be the oldest voter in Mizoram as the election to the 40-member state Assembly ended peacefully on Wednesday, 28 November.

Rochhinga, a Presbyterian Church elder and a resident of Zemabawk North in Aizawl East-I constituency, came holding a walking stick along with one of his neighbours.

Also among the voters were people aged 106, 104 and 96.

“I never miss voting in elections. It is our duty. If we fail in our duty, how can we question when the government fails in its duty?”
Rochhinga told PTI
