Sikkim Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya on Tuesday accepted a resolution passed by newly-elected MLAs of Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) electing him as their legislature party leader to stake claim to form the next government.
The resolution, signed by all 30 newly elected legislators designated Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) president Prem Singh Tamang as the leader of the Legislature Party and the Chief Ministerial candidate for the 11th Sikkim Legislative Assembly.
Taking to social media, Sikkim chief minister Prem Singh Tamang, “Earlier today, I had the honor of meeting with the Hon’ble Governor Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya Ji at Raj Bhawan. During our meeting, I submitted a formal proposal staking claim to form the government.”
“I am pleased to announce that the Hon’ble Governor has accepted this proposal, marking a significant step forward in our efforts to establish a new government”, he added.
The Governor congratulated the Chief Minister for conducting the election smoothly and peacefully. He mentioned pride in being the Governor of Sikkim. Furthermore, he extended his heartiest congratulations to the legislators and workers for the landslide victory.
The Chief Minister expressed his gratitude to the esteemed legislators for their decision and the people of Sikkim for entrusting the SKM party with the responsibility to serve the state and its citizens once again.
The SKM registered a landslide victory as the results of the Sikkim legislative assembly elections were announced on Sunday.
SKM won 31 out of the 32 seats sweeping the assembly polls in the Himalayan state while the opposition Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) was confined to a lone seat.
With the emphatic victory of the ruling party, SKM chief and Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang is gearing up for a second term in the state vowing to fulfil all promises made during the polls.
This is the third time, Sikkim has witnessed a landslide victory of a political party as similar results were drawn by Sikkim Sangram Parishad and SDF in 1989 and 2009, respectively.
In the 2019 assembly elections, the SKM won 17 seats, while the SDF secured 15 seats out of the 32 seats. SKM won 10 seats in 2014 as it faced its first assembly elections.
