In Manipur, Congress recorded a landslide win by returning 42 of its candidates to the 60 member assembly.

Trinamool Congress opened its account by winning seven seats in its maiden contest. MSCP bagged five, Naga People's Front four and NCP and LJP one each.

Consultation for election of new Congress Legislature Party leader has begun to form the next government.

The Congress party won the state assembly elections with more than two third majority.

Two Congress central observers Luizinho Faleiro and Hemant Biswa Sharma have already arrived in Imphal for the election of the new CLP leader.

For the first time in the electoral history of the state, the Indian National Congress has set a new record by winning 42 seats in the 60-member state assembly.

Despite various odds and attacks on Congress workers during the election campaign, the Party has come back to power again. No political pundit could imagine the mood of the voters and all exit polls and political predictions have been proved wrong this time.

However, it is to be seen whether the state Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh who led the party campaign is unanimously elected as CLP leader for the third consecutive term.
