Seat change
Against Manipur's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1974), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained4 (7%)
- Changed hands49 (82%)
- New seat7 (12%)
4 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 49 changed hands. 7 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.
