welfth Assembly Elections in Goa 2017

A single-day poll for 40 assembly seats in Goa4 was held on 4 February 2017. The state witnessed a high voter turnout at 82.5 per cent which was more or less the same as last elections. These elections witnessed a hung assembly in the state with the Congress party emerging as the single largest party by winning 17 seats while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) bagged 13. The incumbent Chief Minister, Laxmikant Parsekar and six other BJP ministers lost the elections, showing the extent of anti-incumbency sentiment in the state. Despite being the 2nd largest party, the BJP formed a coalition government in the state with the support of 21 MLA’s—3 each from MAG and GFP and 2 independents, besides its 13 elected representatives. Manohar Parrikar resigned from his post as the Defence Minister and was sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state.

A disaggregated analysis of the results shows that in North Goa, a stronghold of the BJP having a higher Hindu concentration saw the Congress winning nine seats and eight seats went to the BJP. From the remaining six seats, 2 each went to MAG, GFP and other smaller parties. In terms of vote share though the verdict was in favour of the BJP in this region as it secured 35.8 per cent of the votes, 8 percentage points ahead of the Congress, but one needs to note that MAG which was an ally of the BJP in the last elections damaged the BJP’s vote and grabbed 2 seats and 15 per cent of the votes in this region. On the other hand in South Goa, the traditional stronghold of the Congress and where most Goan Catholics are concentrated saw Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) making an impressive debut in the state. Although the party failed to open its account it managed to cut the votes of Congress in this region by securing 8 per cent of the votes in these elections. South Goa also witnessed a lower turnout compared to North Goa.

Fifteenth Assembly Elections in Punjab 2017

A single-day poll to elect 117 members of the Punjab5 Legislative Assembly was held on 4 February 2017. The Congress under the leadership of Amarinder Singh decimated the incumbent SAD–BJP alliance by winning 77 seats. The ruling SAD–BJP alliance faced a humiliating defeat and was reduced to 18 seats. While SAD won 15 seats, its alliance partner BJP could win only 3 seats. The elections saw a further erosion of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) which was not successful on any seat (like the previous elections) but also saw a loss of 2.7 per cent in its vote share. Congress dominated all the three regions of the state–Majha, Doaba and Malwa. In Majha region, the party gave its best performance (10 of the 11 seats in the Amritsar district). Of the six seats won by SAD+ in the Doaba region, four came from Jalandhar district and one each from Kapurthala and Nawan Shahr. AAP was considered a strong force in the Malwa region where it won 18 out of its total of twenty.

SAD+ saw a decline of 30 seats in the constituencies where Sikhs constitute 60 per cent of the population and 10 seats and 8 per cent vote share in constituencies with a high concentration of Hindu population. AAP clearly cut the vote share of SAD+ in the Sikh dominated seats as it was victorious in 18 such seats. SAD+ gave its best performance in seats where no single community dominated. It won 9 such seats. Congress won 15 of the total 19 seats where Hindus constitute 60 per cent of the population and 24 of the total 36 seats where no single community dominated.
