The BJP has secured a return to power in Arunachal Pradesh with a majority. Voting took place in the state on April 19 in 50 Seats out of 60 Seats.
However, Arunachal Pradesh has 60 Seats. But, before the voting, BJP won 10 Seats unopposed. Among them, BJP’S former CM Pema Khandu won in Mukto constituency of Tawang district. The party has now secured a total of 46 seats, with their ally, the National People’s Party led by Conrad Sangma, winning five seats.
Among those elected unopposed in Arunachal Pradesh is Chief Minister Pema Khandu, who has now won unopposed for three of his four terms as MLA from Mukto in Tawang district. Other unopposed winners include Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein from Chowkham, Techi Kaso from Itanagar, Nyato Dukam from Taliha, and Mutchu Mithi from Roing.
During the Assembly Elections this year, Arunachal Pradesh saw a record 82.7% voter turnout. So, naturally BJP’s state leadership expected better results than 2019.
In the 2019 assembly elections, the Janata Dal (United) won seven seats, the National People’s Party five, Congress four, and the People’s Party of Arunachal one seat. Two independents also won seats.
