Elections to the '''[[Mizoram Legislative Assembly]]''' were held in April 1979 to elect members of the 30 constituencies in [[Mizoram]], India. The [[Mizoram People's Conference]] emerged as the single largest party and [[T. Sailo]] was appointed as the [[Chief Minister of Mizoram]] for the second time.

Chief Minister Sailo's refusal to grant undue favours caused dissension in his party which led to the fall of his previous government and imposition of [[President's rule]] in the Union Territory.<ref name=sinha2007>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ngtgH9RYB0EC |title=Lost Opportunities: 50 Years of Insurgency in the North-east and India's|author=S.
