The BJP will secure the majority mark and form government for another term, indicate election trends. BJP Chief Minister N Biren Singh has 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. The election results will be declared today.
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 predicts the BJP is 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.
