Sikkim Vidhan Sabha Election 2024
The 2024 Sikkim Legislative Assembly elections are slated to be held on April 19, 2024, concurrently with the 2024 Indian general election. This election will determine the 32 members of the 11th Sikkim Assembly.
The Sikkim Legislative Assembly consists of 32 constituencies, with 12 reserved for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and two for candidates of Scheduled Castes (SC).
Sikkim became a part of India on May 16, 1975, following a referendum in which the people of Sikkim voted to join the Indian Union. This referendum was conducted after a period of political turmoil in Sikkim, which led to the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of Sikkim as the 22nd state of India. Sikkim held its first Assembly election in 1979, which saw the Indian National Congress (INC) emerge victorious.
In the 2019 Sikkim Legislative Assembly elections, the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) secured victory. The SKM attained a majority of seats in the assembly, winning a total of 17 out of 32 seats. As a result, Prem Singh Tamang, also known as P. S. Golay, assumed the role of Chief Minister of Sikkim.
