The fate of 146 candidates in the fray for the Sikkim Assembly seats, including SKM Chief Minister and Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, CM and former SDF chief Pawan Kumar Chamling, will be sealed in the EBM machine today. Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang told Amar Ojala that the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) government has served the people. This time the public decided to give 32 out of 32 seats and one Lok Sabha seat to SKM. We provided full help after the flood. Now tourism has become completely normal here. After the vote, Taman said something surprising that previously he used to vote for a candidate of another party. But for the first time he voted for himself. According to him, the biggest issue is the issue of development. The previous government did no work for 25 years. We do this work. He said, the public gave us a chance in 2019, but after that came the Corona outbreak. After that floods wreaked havoc in Sikkim. Despite these troubles, we did development work. An estimated 4.64 lakh voters, including 2,32,381 male voters and 2,31,545 women voters, will be eligible to exercise their franchise in the state.
Sikkim: The fate of 146 candidates was decided today
146 candidates are in the fray for 32 Sikkim Assembly seats. Today their fate will be sealed in the EBM machine. Currently there is a Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) government here. Here 12 seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes (ST). The term of the Sikkim Assembly ends on June 2. This time, the most interesting contest is expected to be Krishna Kumari Rai, wife of the outgoing CM, Prem Tamang, taking on opposition SDF president and Chief Minister Pawan Chamling for the Namchi-Singhithang seat. Apart from that, Prime Minister Prem Tamang is contesting from two constituencies, Surang-Chakong and Renuk. While Assembly Speaker Arun Kumar Utpari was fielded from Aritang Assembly constituency. SKM gave tickets to nine ministers and canceled tickets of two.
A total of 146 candidates, 12 women
Almost 50 percent of Sikh voters are women, but this time there are only 12 women candidates out of 146 candidates in the Sikh Assembly fray. In the last assembly there were 15 women candidates. This time the Sikkim Karntikari Morha board fielded four women candidates. In the 2019 elections, the party presented three candidates.
