{{Politics of Uttarakhand}}

The '''2012 Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election''' were the third [[Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly|Vidhan Sabha]] ([[State Legislative Assembly (India)|Legislative Assembly]]) election of the state. Elections were held on 30 January 2012 when [[Indian National Congress]] emerged as the largest party with 32 seats in the 70-seat legislature and formed the government with the help of [[Bahujan Samaj Party]], [[Uttarakhand Kranti Dal|Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (P)]] and [[Independent politician|Independents]]. The [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] with 31 seats served as the official opposition.

The [[Indian National Congress]] emerged as the largest party with 32 seats in a house of 70. They were still four short of the majority to form a government. After much wrangling it was announced that the [[Bahujan Samaj Party]], [[Uttarakhand Kranti Dal|Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (P)]] and the three [[Independent politician|Independents]] would be supporting the government. The incumbent [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] Government lost as they had only 31 seats out of 70 seats, lagging just one seat behind Indian National Congress.

After protracted discussions it was announced the [[Vijay Bahuguna]] would be Chief Minister and [[Harish Rawat]] would continue to serve as the Union Minister for Water Resources in the UPA government at Union level.
