Congress won its biggest majority yet in Arunachal Pradesh, extending an already long run in power.

The Indian National Congress took 53 of the 60 seats on offer.

That was 22 seats clear of the 31-seat majority mark — a result comfortable enough to count as a landslide.

Its nearest rival, the Nationalist Congress Party, managed only 4 seats.

This result set a new high for Congress in the state, a bigger seat haul than it had ever won there before.

It grew from 43 seats at the previous election to 53 this time.

The party has now won 4 elections in a row in the state.

NCP entered the assembly for the first time that year, immediately becoming the runner-up with 4 seats.

A few numbers from that election stand out.

The tightest race was in Borduria- Bagapani, Arunachal Pradesh, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 13 votes.

At the other extreme, Koloriang, Arunachal Pradesh was the most one-sided contest, won by a margin of 95.3% of the vote.

Lumla, Arunachal Pradesh recorded the highest turnout of the election, 90.0% — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot.

Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh was both the largest constituency by registered voters, with 38,807 names on the rolls, and the most contested, drawing 7 candidates.

This election followed a split inside the state's INC.
