Elections to the '''[[Mizoram Legislative Assembly]]''' were held in November 1989 to elect members of the 40 constituencies in [[Mizoram]], India. The [[Indian National Congress]] won the majority of seats and its leader in Mizoram, [[Lal Thanhawla]] was appointed as the [[Chief Minister of Mizoram]]; his second time in the role.

In [[1987 Mizoram Legislative Assembly election|1987]], the [[Mizo National Front]] won the elections and started governing for their 5-year term. But, within 18 months, there were defections from the party, by members who wanted Cabinet positions, which reduced the government to a minority in the Assembly. [[President's rule]] was imposed on Mizoram, in September 1988<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19880930-mizoram-comes-under-president-rule-797758-1988-09-30 |title=Mizoram comes under President's Rule|date=20 September 1988 |author=Ramesh Menon |access-date= 16 July 2021}}</ref> and elections were called for in 1989.
