2009 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election

The 2009 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election was held on April 30, 2009, to elect members to the 32nd Sikkim Legislative Assembly. This election was conducted alongside the Indian general elections, marking a significant political event in the state. The ruling party, the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), led by Chief Minister Pawan Chamling, sought to secure a fourth consecutive term in office. The main opposition was the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM), which aimed to challenge the SDF's long-standing dominance in Sikkimese politics. Voter turnout was recorded at approximately 80%, reflecting the active engagement of the electorate. The election results confirmed the SDF's overwhelming victory, solidifying its position in Sikkim's political landscape.
