Thangmeiband Election Result LIVE: The counting of votes in Thangmeiband has come to a close. Khumukcham Joykisan Singh of JD(U) has won the Thangmeiband seat, having polled 13629 votes. The counting for the Thangmeiband Assembly constituency began at 8 AM under the supervision of returning officers appointed by the Election Commission of India. Manipur has 60 Assembly seats and the majority mark to form the government in Imphal is 30.

Counting of votes polled in the Manipur assembly elections began at 8 am on Thursday under tight security and strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, officials said. Polling for 60 assembly seats was held in two phases on February 28 and March 5.

Various exit polls had earlier predicted a win for the BJP in the state with the party slated to secure seats ranging from 23 to 43, while the Congress is seen winning between four and 17 seats. “The counting process started at 8 am with the calculation of postal ballots, to be followed by votes polled in EVMs from 8.30 am in 41 counting halls notified for the purpose,” an election official said.

Manipur Chief Electoral Officer Rajesh Agarwal had earlier said district election officers and senior police officers have been directed to make elaborate security arrangements for the exercise.
