1993 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election

The 1993 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was held on November 9, 1993, to elect members of the 11th Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh, India. This election was significant as it took place against the backdrop of political realignments and social changes in the region. The Indian National Congress (INC), under the leadership of Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, sought to retain power after winning the previous election in 1990. The main opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), aimed to capitalize on growing discontent towards the incumbent government. The election was marked by issues such as development, unemployment, and regional identity, ultimately resulting in a hung assembly, leading to complex political negotiations and coalition formations in the state.
