Against Sikkim's previous Vidhan Sabha election (2014), matched constituency-for-constituency

32SEATS
  • Retained19 (59%)
  • Changed hands13 (41%)

19 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 13 changed hands.

India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
