Imphal | April 15 : Campaigns for Outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency concluded Tuesday evening. Manipur will go to polls for the Outer constituency Thursday, April 16, joining the nation in its first phase election to the 15th Lok Sabha. In the said state elections, over 17 (seven) lakh voters will decide the fate of nine candidates in the state’s lone seat for the Outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency.
The nine candidates of the Outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency are LB. Sona of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), D. Loli Adanee of the BJP, Jhangso Baite of the Congress, Mani Charanamei of the People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA), Jamkhongam Haokip of the Rashtrya Janata Dal (RJD), Rose Mangshi Haokip of the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP), ValleyRose, Thangkhajin and Lalammoi Paite as Independent candidates.
Meanwhile, campaigns for the Outer Manipur constituency concluded Tuesday evening at about 4:00. Following the conclusion of the campaign, voting ballots and electronic voting machines (EVMs) have been sent to the respective assembly constituencies for the elections, as per reports. According to the reports, election officers and those on duties have also been deputed to their concerned constituencies.
In the said elections, 17, 35, 982 registered voters, as per Election Commission, are set to exercise their franchise and elect their representatives in 2193 polling stations. This is reported to be 132 more than the previous election. Meanwhile, as per unofficial source, Churachandpur district has the highest number of voters numbering 1, 75,696 with Tamenglong having the least – 78, 126 voters. Ukhrul district has 1, 00,994 voters, Senapati district- 1, 44,383, Chandel district - 91, 406 while seven Assembly Constituencies (ACs) of Thoubal district lying within the same constituency has 1, 85,021, and Jiribam AC has 26, 587, added the unofficial source.
On the other hand, it is perhaps interesting to note that campaigns hit high with the various candidates and their concerned political parties wooing the voters over the past days with various assurances and promises ranging from peace and development to rights of the indigenous people of the hills. However, with hardly a day left for the voting, the candidates are now left to the mercy of the voters to elect their representative for the 15th Lok Sabha elections.
It is also interesting to note the Congress, BJP and the PDA are seen as the main rivals in the Outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency with the party and the candidates reportedly taking a hit at one another during the campaigns and assuring better things than the other. But, with the campaigns over , they are for the moment left to the mercy of the voters and only time can perhaps tell who the people elect as their representative.
