For seat by the same name in '''Karnataka''', see : [[Khanapur (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Khanapur]] Vidhan Sabha Seat in Maharashtra.

'''[[Khanapur]]''' Vidhan Sabha seat is one of the 224 assembly constituencies in the state of '''[[Karnataka]]''' in India. It is one of the 8 constituencies which make up [[Uttara Kannada (Lok Sabha constituency)]]. It has been a stronghold of [[Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti]] (MES) whose candidates tend to contest as independents because it is not officially recognized as a party. For 11 consecutive elections, 1957 to 2004, the seat returned an independent candidate as winner, which should be some sort of a record, though many of those winners were certainly activists for a specific unit of MES. In 1962, MES did contest the election under its own official name.
