Congress stayed in power in Arunachal Pradesh, but with a much smaller cushion than before.

The Indian National Congress won 34 of the 60 seats.

That left it just 3 seats past the 31-seat majority mark, enough to govern alone.

A crowded field of Independent candidates took 13 seats between them, more than any single opposition party.

Congress governed this term with help from an ally rather than on its own strength alone.

Its seat count fell from 53 at the previous election to 34 this time.

Counting its INC-AC allies together, the governing side reached 36 seats in all.

Across the state, 13 seats moved from the INC to IND candidates, the single biggest shift of the election.

A few numbers from that election stand out.

The closest race of all: Changlang South, Arunachal Pradesh was decided by just 3 votes.

At the other end, Khonsa East, Arunachal Pradesh was won by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of 59.4% of the vote.

Doimukh, Arunachal Pradesh saw the best turnout of the year, 92.5% — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot.

Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh carried both the largest electorate of any seat, at 42,595 registered voters, and its lowest turnout, at just 45.7%.

Congress fought this election alongside a regional ally born out of an earlier split inside its own ranks.
