The 2012 Manipur Legislative Assembly election was held in Indian state of Manipur in Feb-March 2012, to elect 60 members to the Manipur Legislative Assembly.[1]
Results
The Voter turnout was 79.19%. Congress won majority of the seats, the first time in the history of the state that a single party held a majority, which was helped by the divide in the opposition forces.[2] Incumbent Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh was re-elected for the post.
The opposition was divided between the People's Democratic Front, five-party grand alliance consisting of the Manipur Peoples Party, Nationalist Congress Party,
Janata Dal (United), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and the Rashtriya Janata Dal which
did not put up any candidate. The Trinamool Congress was the over major political party contesting.[2]
In 2014, the Manipur State Congress Party (MSCP) merged with the Indian National Congress which raised the number of INC MLAs to 47.[3]
