Template:Infobox election

Legislative Assembly elections were held in Himachal Pradesh on 12 November 2022 to elect 68 members of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly. The votes will be counted and the results will be declared on 8 December 2022.

Background

The tenure of Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 8 January 2023.[1] The previous assembly elections were held in November 2017. After the election, Bharatiya Janata Party formed the state government, with Jai Ram Thakur becoming Chief Minister.[2] The Indian National Congress became the opposition with Mukesh Agnihotri becoming Leader of Opposition in the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly.

Bypolls and defections

Since the last assembly elections, several bypolls were held, the most recent of which were won by the Indian National Congress, with it wresting control of the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency and 3 other assembly constituencies.[3]

The entry of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the 2022 Himachal Pradesh Assembly election made it a three cornered contest.[4] In March 2022, a large section of the Congress’ Himachal wing joined AAP in presence of Himachal Pradesh election in-charge and Delhi Cabinet Minister Satyendar Jain.[5]

Congress MLAs Pawan Kumar Kajal and Lakhvinder Singh Rana joined BJP in August 2022.[6] Kajal was the head of Congress Working committee.[7] The defection of the two senior Congress officials was deemed to be a major blow to the party just a few months prior to the Assembly election.[8] On 28 September 2022, Himachal Pradesh state Congress working president and former cabinet minister Harsh Mahajan joined BJP. The defection was another shock to Congress.[9][10]
