Manipur, a state in northeastern India, is known as the "Jewel of the Northeast" for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant traditions. With 2 Lok Sabha seats โ Inner Manipur and Outer Manipur โ the state plays a unique and important role in India's political landscape. Manipur shares borders with Nagaland, Mizoram, Assam, and Myanmar to the east.
The state's politics is shaped by its distinct ethnic composition, with the valley-based Meitei community and hill-based tribal communities (Naga, Kuki-Zo, and others). The 2024 Lok Sabha election was held amidst a year-long ethnic conflict, and resulted in a clean sweep for the Indian National Congress (INC), which won both seats, defeating the ruling NDA alliance (BJP and NPF).
Manipur's politics is a complex multi-cornered contest involving the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Indian National Congress (INC), and various regional and tribal parties. The BJP has been in power since 2017 under Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, while the INC has traditionally been strong in the Imphal Valley. Regional parties like the Naga People's Front (NPF) and tribal-based parties play a crucial role in the hill districts.
The 2024 Lok Sabha election was held amidst a year-long ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities. The INC swept both seats, with Bimol Akoijam winning Inner Manipur and Alfred Kanngam Arthur winning Outer Manipur. The NDA alliance, which had won both seats in 2019, failed to retain either. The election results were seen as a referendum on the BJP's handling of the ethnic crisis and a sign of popular dissatisfaction with the state government.
๐ฎ๐ณ Manipur 2024 Lok Sabha Election A complete look at Manipur's political landscape & the 2024 election
Manipur is India's 24th most populous state, with over 31.5 lakh people, and sends 2 members to the Lok Sabha โ one from Inner Manipur and one from Outer Manipur (reserved for Scheduled Tribes). Its capital is Imphal, and major cities include Thoubal, Kakching, and Bishnupur. The state is divided into two regions: the Imphal Valley and the Hill Districts, each with distinct political and economic characteristics.
Manipur is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional sports, and handloom industry. The state's politics is deeply intertwined with issues of development, infrastructure, ethnic identity, and regional autonomy. The 2024 Lok Sabha election took place against the backdrop of these regional concerns, with the Congress making a dramatic comeback.
The 2024 Lok Sabha election in Manipur was a direct contest between the NDA (BJP and NPF) and the INDIA bloc (Congress). The Bharatiya Janata Party led NDA, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, sought to retain both seats. The Indian National Congress, led by the state unit, aimed to capitalize on anti-incumbency and the ethnic crisis.
High-profile contests defined the election narrative: Inner Manipur saw Bimol Akoijam (INC) defeat Thounaojam Basanta Kumar Singh (BJP); Outer Manipur witnessed Alfred Kanngam Arthur (INC) defeat K. Timothy Zimik (NPF). The results saw the INC win both seats, marking a significant political shift in the state.
The 2024 general election in Manipur was conducted in two phases: on 19 April (for Inner Manipur and parts of Outer Manipur) and 26 April (for the remaining parts of Outer Manipur), with results declared on 4 June 2024.
