Manipur Lok Sabha Elections: Repolling in 11 Polling Stations Due to Gunfire and EVM Destruction

The decision was made following a directive from the Election Commission to declare the polls held at certain stations on April 19 as null and void and to schedule fresh polling. The affected polling stations include Moirangkampu Sajeb and Thongam Leikai in the Khurai constituency, four in Kshetrigao, and one in Thongju in Imphal East district, as well as three in Uripok and one in Konthoujam in Imphal West district. Earlier in the day, the Congress had demanded a re-poll in 47 polling stations, alleging booth capture and election rigging. Manipur Congress president K Meghachandra stated that the party had lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer, demanding a re-poll in 36 polling stations in the Inner Manipur constituency and 11 in the Outer Manipur constituency.
