Repolling held in 28 polling stations of Manipur

The results of Manipur assembly elections-which were held in two phases- will be announced on March 11.

Imphal, Mar 10: Repolling in 28 polling stations across four districts of Manipur began on Friday amidst tight security. Voters were seen standing in queues before the polling stations to exercise their franchise which has been peaceful so far, an election commission official said.

Polling in Ukul, Tengnoupal, Kangpokpi and Senapati districts was held during the second phase of the assembly elections on March 8. The repoll was ordered following electoral malpractices in these polling stations, the official said. Repolling began at 7 am.

Meanwhile, the results of the five states-Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur-will be announced on Saturday. Elections in Manipur were held in two phases. In Manipur, chief minister Ibobi Singh is confident of the party's victory.
