For Manipur, all the exit polls have predicted that the N Biren Singh-led BJP government will retain power for the second term. Chief minister Biren Singh is also confident of a comeback this time. Meanwhile, the Congress is expected to trail this time, according to the exit poll predictions.

In 2017, Congress had emerged as the single largest party, winning 28 seats, but failed to form a government. Subsequently, the BJP, with 21 seats, teamed up with Conrad Sangma’s National People’s Party and Nagaland’s Naga People’s Front, secured a majority and came to power.
