Congress successfully claimed victory in Manipur, overtaking the BJP and its ally, NPF. Both the Meitei-dominated valley and the tribal-majority hills cast their votes for the grand old party after a tumultuous year marked by ethnic violence that claimed more than 200 lives. JNU professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam triumphed over state minister and BJP candidate Thounaojam Basantakumar in Inner Manipur.
Repolling in Outer Manipur Lok Sabha saw 81.16% turnout. Damage to EVMs and VVPATs led to fresh polls. Manipur's voter turnout exceeded national average, showcasing high participation despite ethnic conflict.
