Sikkim Assembly Election Winner List 2024: The counting of votes for the 32 Assembly seats in Sikkim ave been completd. The election was held in a single phase on April 19, which coincided with the Lok Sabha elections. The Prem Singh Tamang-led Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) secured a second consecutive term in 2024, while the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), led by former Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, failed to regain power. In the 2019 Sikkim Assembly polls, the SKM won 17 of the 32 seats, narrowly defeating the SDF, which secured 15 constituencies. Earlier, on March 23, the BJP called off its alliance with the ruling SKM and decided to contest both the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls independently. Despite this, the SKM had not ruled out the possibility of a post-poll alliance with the BJP, similar to the arrangement made after the 2019 elections. It will be interesting to see whether the SKM can secure another term or if the SDF can make a comeback.
Key candidates and seats to watch out for:
Key candidates and seats in the Sikkim Assembly elections were Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang. Tamang is contesting from two assembly seats: Rhenock in Gangtok district and Soreng-Chakung in Soreng district. SKM chief's wife, Krishna Kumari, was in fray from Namchi-Singhithang against SDF's Bimal Rai in a quadrangular contest. SDF chief Pawan Kumar Chamling, lost both the Poklok-Kamrang in Namchi and Namcheybung in Gangtok.
Other notable candidates were SDF vice president and former football captain Bhaichung Bhutia from Barfung (BL) against SKM's RD Bhutia, and Sikkim BJP president D R Thapa from Upper Burtuk against SKM's Kala Rai.
