The counting of votes for the Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim assembly elections is underway, with the BJP leading in Arunachal Pradesh and the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) dominating in Sikkim.
In Arunachal Pradesh, the BJP has secured a significant lead, with 28 seats out of 50 counted so far. The party has already won 10 seats uncontested and is ahead in 38 seats. The National People's Party (NPP) has won 8 seats, the People's Party of Arunachal (PPA) has won 3, the Rashtriya Congress (RC) has won 2, the Congress has won 1, and independents have won 2. The BJP is likely to secure a majority with a total of 31 seats needed. While in Sikkim, the SKM has secured a decisive victory, winning 29 out of 32 seats counted so far.
