2020 Manipur Legislative Assembly by-elections

By-elections for Five state assembly constituencies were held in Manipur on 7 November 2020.[1][2]

Thirteen seats of the Manipur Legislative Assembly fell vacant after disqualification and mass resignation of Congress MLAs[3][4] after which thirteen seats fell vacant.[5]

On 10 November 2020, the election of one of these disqualified MLAs (Yengkhom Surchandra Singh, from the Kakching constituency) was declared null and void by the Manipur High Court; as a result, the BJP candidate in that election, who had come in second place, replaced Singh as MLA, so that the number of vacant seats went down to 12.[6]

The first phase of the by-elections for 5 constituencies of the Manipur Legislative Assembly has been announced.[7][8]
