Sikkim celebrates Victory of Prem Singh Tamang in By-Poll from Pok Lok Kamrang with Crackers

Gangtok, Oct 24 ( UNI ) Chief Minister of Sikkim, Prem Singh (Golay) Tamang has finally emerged successful securing 10811 votes cast through Electronic Voting Machine in addition to 226 Postal Ballots, in Pok Lok Kamrang South Sikkim.
The results have been declared today at District Administrative Centre, South. His nearest rival Moses Rai, Sikkim Democratic Front party secured 1858 votes and Yadhu Kumar Rai, Sikkim Republican Party 125.
Rejected votes numbered 18 and 75 votes went to None of the above (NOTA). PS Tamang, so far an unelected Chief Minister of Sikkim, in keeping with Constitution of India, will now have peace. He had been striving to overthrow Chamling since 2014 elections but could manage to win ten seats only, then. But now that his destiny has taken him to the top, the public wants real ‘Parivartan.’ His motto so far has been ‘Parivartan’ a change in the successful Generation long regime.
There is no row at position 0.
