GUWAHATI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged victorious in the Arunachal Pradesh elections, securing an impressive 46 out of 60 assembly seats.
This landslide victory ensures the continuation of BJP rule in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Pema Khandu for a third consecutive term.
The BJP's success was evident early on, with the party already securing 10 seats unopposed, including CM Pema Khandu's victory from the Mukto assembly seat.
Compared to the 2019 polls where the BJP won 41 seats, this year's mandate reflects a substantial increase in support from the electorate.
While the Congress managed to win one seat in Bameng, the National People's Party (NPEP) secured five seats, and three independent candidates emerged victorious.
The remaining seats were fiercely contested, with a total of 133 candidates vying for victory across 50 assembly constituencies.
Expressing his gratitude to the people of Arunachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Pema Khandu hailed the historic occasion, emphasizing the overwhelming mandate in favor of the BJP. He noted that the momentum of this victory would reverberate across the country, with the BJP poised to perform well in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on June 4.
The BJP's decisive win underscores the party's growing influence in the region and reaffirms its position as the dominant political force in Arunachal Pradesh. With a renewed mandate, the BJP is poised to continue its developmental agenda and governance initiatives for the prosperity and progress of the state.
