2002 Goa Legislative Assembly election
The 2002 Goa Legislative Assembly election was held on September 30, 2002, to elect members of the 40th Goa Legislative Assembly. This election was prompted by the dissolution of the assembly in August 2002, following a political crisis that saw the ruling coalition lose its majority. The primary contest was between the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alongside various regional and smaller parties. The election resulted in a significant victory for the BJP, which, in alliance with regional parties, formed a government led by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar. The outcome marked a notable shift in Goa's political landscape, influencing subsequent electoral dynamics in the state. Voter turnout was reported at approximately 82%.
