> The Indian election commission faced an embarrassing situation when the chief minister of a north-eastern state could not cast his vote due to voting machine problems, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Incumbent and Mizo National Front president Zoramthanga, who is widely expected to retain his seat, had to leave the polling station in Aizawl after initially failing to cast his vote.
Before leaving, he was seen meeting with constituents waiting for their turn to cast their vote.
He returned a few hours later to vote.
