BJP candidate Oinam Lukhoi Singh won the by-election to the Wangoi seat in Manipur, while saffron party candidates were leading in two other constituencies and an Independent from one.
Oinam Lukhoi Singh won the Wangoi seat defeating his nearest rival Khuraijam Loken Singh of the National People’s Party by a margin of 257 votes.
BJP candidates Paonam Brojen Singh and Ngamthang Haokip were leading from Wangjing Tentha and Saitu Assembly Constituency by over 1,560 and 2,799 votes.
Independent candidate Y Antas Khan was leading over his nearest Independent rival Mohd Abdul Nasir by 3,078 votes.

The BJP has contested in three seats and supported an independent candidate in Lilong, while the Congress has fielded its nominees in all four constituencies.
