The result was a victory for the Indian National Congress, which returned to power after losing their majority in 2017, continuing a pattern of the incumbent party losing reelection in Himachal Pradesh since 1985.[3]

Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu became the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh whereas Mukesh Agnihotri became Deputy Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh.[4]

Background

The tenure of Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 8 January 2023.[5] The previous assembly elections were held in November 2017. After the election, Bharatiya Janata Party formed the state government, with Jai Ram Thakur becoming chief minister.[6] The Indian National Congress became the opposition with Mukesh Agnihotri becoming Leader of Opposition in the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly.

Bypolls and defections

Since the last assembly elections, several bypolls were held, the most recent of which were won by the Indian National Congress, with it wresting control of the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency and 3 other assembly constituencies.[7]

Congress MLAs Pawan Kumar Kajal and Lakhvinder Singh Rana joined BJP in August 2022.[8] Kajal was the head of Congress Working committee.[9] The defection of the two senior Congress officials was deemed to be a major blow to the party just a few months prior to the Assembly election.[10] On 28 September 2022, Himachal Pradesh state Congress working president and former cabinet minister Harsh Mahajan joined BJP. The defection was another shock to Congress.[11][12]
