Christian Indian with 39 wives, 94 children is courted by politicians

At last count, Ziona Chana has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren. They all live with him in his 100-room, four-storey house perched among the hills of Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram.

That’s a lot of votes. And every vote counts. So the family is very popular these days with politicians.

“We were witnessing a rush of politicians seeking votes in the last few days,” Chana told Agence France Presse this weekend, while seated at his estate. “During every election we are much in demand as the winning margins of politicians in this state are slim, so even 100-odd votes matter to them,” the 70-year-old explained.

The Indian election is expected to be the biggest exercise in democracy in history. In all, 815 million people are eligible to vote between April 7 and May 12. More than 930,000 polling stations are expected to be set up and manned with roughly 11 million workers.

But in the remote northeastern state of Mizoram, Chana, who claims he’s the head of the “world’s largest family”, may be a kingmaker. With him goes his brood. And with his brood may go the fate of that state’s election.
