The '''Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election of 2009''' took place in October 2009, concurrently with the assembly elections in [[2009 Maharashtra state assembly elections|Maharashtra]] and [[2009 Haryana Legislative Assembly election|Haryana]]. The elections were held in the state for all 60 Assembly seats on 2009-10-13. The results were declared on 2009-10-22. [[Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh|Chief Minister]] [[Dorjee Khandu]]'s [[Indian National Congress]] party came back to power in the state with an increased majority, winning 42 seats in the 60 seat Assembly.

==Previous Assembly==
In the [[State Assembly elections in India, 2004#Arunachal Pradesh|2004 Arunachal Pradesh Assembly election]], Congress won 34 of the 60 seats and Congress leader [[Gegong Apang]] was elected as the Congress Legislative Party and was sworn in as the Chief Minister.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/election/2004/oct/13apang.htm|title=Apang is Arunachal Pradesh chief minister|date=2004-10-13|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=2009-10-30}}</ref> Apang had defected from the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] just a few weeks before the election. The BJP won win 9 seats.

However, in April 2007, 29 Congress legislators formally supported a change of leadership in the state Congress. The dissidents also claimed support from 2 NCP, 1 [[Arunachal Congress]] and 11 independent legislators.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200704061210.htm |title=Arunachal CM, PCC chief summoned to Delhi |date=2007-04-06 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2009-11-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105131309/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200704061210.htm |archive-date=2012-11-05 }}</ref> Apang, Arunachal's longest serving chief minister, was forced to step down on 2007-04-09 when the Congress legislators elected Power Minister Dorjee Khandu as the new Congress Legislative Party leader.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/004200704091873.htm|title=Dorjee Khandu to be new Arunachal CM|date=2007-04-09|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2009-11-02}}</ref> Khandu was sworn in as the state's seventh Chief Minister by [[Governor of Nagaland|Nagaland Governor]] [[K.

In June of the same year, Khandu's Government received further strengthening when 8 out of the 9 BJP MLAs joined Congress, taking the strength of the party to 41.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jun/04bjp.htm|title=Arunachal: All BJP MLAs except one join Congress|date=2007-06-04|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=2009-11-02}}</ref>

==Background==
The tenure of the Arunachal Pradesh Assembly was scheduled to expire on 2009-10-24. So the [[Election Commission of India]] announced<ref name="ECI-2009Aug">{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/press/current/47pn310809.pdf|title=Schedule for General Elections to the Legislative Assemblies of Arunachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Haryana|date=31 August 2009|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]|access-date=2009-10-30}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> on 2009-08-31 that the election to the Arunachal Pradesh Assembly would be held in October 2009.

Though [[Nationalist Congress Party]] and [[All India Trinamool Congress]] were Congress' allies at the Centre, in Arunachal Pradesh, they fought the election against Congress. The BJP was also in the fray in Arunachal, having formed their 1st Government in the North-East after Apang and his supporters had joined the BJP in August 2003.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/30254/|title=Apang, his MLAs to join BJP|last=Kaushal|first=Pradeep|date=2009-08-25|publisher=[[Indian Express]]|access-date=2009-10-30}}</ref>
