Seat change
Against Manipur's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained5 (8%)
- Changed hands14 (23%)
- New seat41 (68%)
5 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 14 changed hands. 41 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
