2012 Manipur Legislative Assembly election
The 2012 Manipur Legislative Assembly election was held on January 28, 2012, to elect the 60 members of the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly. This election was crucial in determining the political landscape of the state, which has been historically characterized by ethnic diversity and socio-political challenges. The incumbent Congress party, led by Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, sought to retain power against a backdrop of significant political opposition, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and various regional parties. Voter turnout was reported at approximately 79%, indicating a robust engagement in the electoral process. The results solidified the Congress party's dominance, securing a majority and facilitating the continuation of its governance in Manipur.
