Manipur results 2022: This time the BJP decided to go solo and contested all 60 seats alone
The BJP is set to form government in Manipur winning 32 seats in the state assembly elections. The National People's Party secured seven seats while Janata Dal (United) won six. The Congress came a distant fourth with only four seats.
Chief Minister N Biren Singh won from the Heingang seat by around 18,000 votes.
The counting of votes for the Manipur assembly elections 2022, held in two phases, began at 8 am and the election results were clear by late in the evening.
The turnout for the election to the 60-seat Manipur assembly, held on February 28 and March 5, was recorded at 78.03 and 76.04 per cent. The assembly polls will decide the electoral fate of 92 candidates.
This time the BJP decided to go solo and contested all 60 seats alone. On the other hand, Congress formed an alliance of six political parties, including Congress, CPI, CPI(M), Forward Bloc, Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), and Janata Dal (Secular).
A poll of exit polls had predicted that the BJP was going to emerge as the single largest party in Manipur. But exit polls do not always get it right.
Congress had emerged as the single largest party in the 2017 elections winning 28 seats followed by BJP (21). But later, BJP stitched a coalition with the NPP, NPF and LJP to form the government.
