A Legislative Assembly election was held in Manipur on 4 March and 8 March 2017 to elect the 60 members of the Manipur Legislative Assembly.[1][2] before the expiration of the term of the previous Assembly on 18 March 2017.[3] The election was fought mainly on the issues of "territorial integrity of Manipur" and the Naga peace accord.[4] The incumbent Indian National Congress lost majority, though it had plurality. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which won 21 seats, formed the government with the support of allies.[5]
