New Delhi: As the nation eagerly awaits the results of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, all eyes are on the northeastern region of India, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeks to maintain its dominance. There are 25 seats in the region across eight states, most of them in the BJP-ruled Assam.

Assam has 14 Lok Sabha seats, Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh have two each. Meanwhile, Sikkim, Nagaland and Mizoram have one seat each. The polling in the northeast region was held amid the ethnic violence between Meiteis and Kuki tribes in Manipur.

While the saffron party is anticipated to secure a significant portion of these seats, formidable competition is expected, especially in constituencies like Karimganj, Nagaon, and Jorhat, where the Congress is poised to pose a challenge. Additionally, the Dhubri seat remains a stronghold for the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), adding further intrigue to the electoral dynamics.

In Manipur, where polling was overshadowed by ethnic violence between Meiteis and Kuki tribes, the BJP and its allies are expected to face a tough challenge. The party fielded Thounaojam Basanta Kumar Singh in the Meitiei-dominated Inner Manipur seat, while the Naga People’s Front (NPF) contested from the Outer Manipur constituency. The exit polls suggest a challenging scenario for the saffron party in Manipur, with predictions indicating a loss for the saffron party in both seats.

BJP's Massive Victory In Arunachal Pradesh Assembly Polls

Meanwhile, in Arunachal Pradesh, the BJP celebrated a resounding victory in the Assembly polls, securing 46 out of 60 seats, further solidifying its position in the state. The remarkable win is expected to motivate party workers in neighbouring Assam and Manipur, where elections are slated in the coming years. The party swept the polls with a bigger margin than its 2019 tally - this time it bagged four more seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the people for reposing their faith in the BJP again. "Our Party will keep working with even greater vigour for the state’s growth," Modi said in a post on X.

Pema Khandu: The Man Behind BJP's Rise In Arunachal Pradesh

Pema Khandu's leadership has been instrumental in propelling the BJP's ascent in Arunachal Pradesh. Since he transitioned to the BJP in 2016, Khandu has exhibited resilience and strategic acumen, rallying support from fellow MLAs and securing his position within the party. As the incumbent Chief Minister, Khandu's emphasis on corruption-free governance and people-centric policies has resonated with voters, contributing to his reelection from the Mukto assembly seat. Beyond politics, Khandu's cultural contributions, particularly his musical talents, have further endeared him to the public, adding a unique dimension to his leadership.

The electoral landscape in the northeast also witnessed significant battles in states like Tripura and Meghalaya. While Tripura is anticipated to lean towards the BJP, Meghalaya's Shillong seat witnessed a triangular contest involving the Congress, the National People’s Party (NPP), and the Voice of the People Party, adding layers of complexity to the electoral narrative.
