Election results

Assembly by-election 2019

In 2019 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election, Pawan Kumar Chamling of the former ruling SDF won in both Poklok-Kamrang and Namchi-Singhithang constituencies, so he relinquished Poklok-Kamrang seat.

In the by-election, ruling SKM sent its president and incumbent Chief Minister, Prem Singh Tamang (P. S. Golay) to the Poklok-Kamrang constituency. Former ruling SDF participated in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly election as the opposition for the first time in 25 years. Opposition INC boycotted this by-election, and HSP didn't send its candidate to this constituency.

As a result, Prem Singh Tamang of SKM defeated his nearest rival Moses Rai of SDF.[5]
