2007 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
The 2007 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was held on December 13, 2007, to elect the 68 members of the 12th Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh, India. This election marked a significant political event in the state, occurring within the context of shifting alliances and regional dynamics. The Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the primary contenders in a highly polarized atmosphere. The BJP, under the leadership of Prem Kumar Dhumal, secured a decisive victory, winning 41 of the 68 seats, thus forming the government. This election was notable for its relatively high voter turnout and was considered a referendum on the previous Congress government's performance, especially concerning issues like development and governance in the hilly terrain of Himachal Pradesh.
