&lt;em&gt;Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Last week, Sikkim&amp;rsquo;s longest serving Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, became the sole elected Opposition representative in the Assembly after the remaining 12 Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) MLAs defected, with 10 joining the BJP and another two joining the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM). Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. It began when the SKM voted out the SDF with a slim margin time in April this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* What happened in the Assembly elections?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was actually the 2014 elections that had heralded the arrival of the SKM, formed the previous year by Chamling&amp;rsquo;s former prot&amp;eacute;g&amp;eacute; P S Tamang, also known as P S Golay. The SKM won 10 of the 32 Assembly seats with 40.8 per cent of the vote, while the SDF held on with 22 seats and 55 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year, the SKM edged out the SDF by 17 seats to 15 but was marginally behind in vote shares, at 47.03 per cent to the SDF&amp;rsquo;s 47.63 per cent. In terms of actual members, the SDF had 13 because two of them had won from two seats each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time in the state that a government has been voted out. Sikkim has had a change in government twice earlier, but the incumbent government had already fallen before the new one was voted in. Some analysts look at the current situation as the birth of Sikkim as a true democracy. A kingdom until recently, Sikkim was seen as continuing with a &amp;ldquo;monarchic psychology&amp;rdquo; as long as Chamling was in the chair.&lt;br /&gt;

Sikkim has had a change in government twice earlier, but the incumbent government had already fallen before the new one was voted in.

&lt;em&gt;Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Last week, Sikkim&amp;rsquo;s longest serving Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, became the sole elected Opposition representative in the Assembly after the remaining 12 Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) MLAs defected, with 10 joining the BJP and another two joining the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM). Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. It began when the SKM voted out the SDF with a slim margin time in April this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* What happened in the Assembly elections?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was actually the 2014 elections that had heralded the arrival of the SKM, formed the previous year by Chamling&amp;rsquo;s former prot&amp;eacute;g&amp;eacute; P S Tamang, also known as P S Golay. The SKM won 10 of the 32 Assembly seats with 40.8 per cent of the vote, while the SDF held on with 22 seats and 55 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year, the SKM edged out the SDF by 17 seats to 15 but was marginally behind in vote shares, at 47.03 per cent to the SDF&amp;rsquo;s 47.63 per cent. In terms of actual members, the SDF had 13 because two of them had won from two seats each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time in the state that a government has been voted out. Sikkim has had a change in government twice earlier, but the incumbent government had already fallen before the new one was voted in. Some analysts look at the current situation as the birth of Sikkim as a true democracy.

New Delhi: </em>Last week, Sikkim&rsquo;s longest serving Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, became the sole elected Opposition representative in the Assembly after the remaining 12 Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) MLAs defected, with 10 joining the BJP and another two joining the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM).

New Delhi: </em>Last week, Sikkim&rsquo;s longest serving Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, became the sole elected Opposition representative in the Assembly after the remaining 12 Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) MLAs defected, with 10 joining the BJP and another two joining the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM).

It was actually the 2014 elections that had heralded the arrival of the SKM, formed the previous year by Chamling&rsquo;s former prot&eacute;g&eacute; P S Tamang, also known as P S Golay. The SKM won 10 of the 32 Assembly seats with 40.8 per cent of the vote, while the SDF held on with 22 seats and 55 per cent.<br />
<br />
This year, the SKM edged out the SDF by 17 seats to 15 but was marginally behind in vote shares, at 47.03 per cent to the SDF&rsquo;s 47.63 per cent. In terms of actual members, the SDF had 13 because two of them had won from two seats each.<br />

Monarchy to long-term CM to instability: how did Sikkim get here? -Esha Roy

-The Indian Express Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. New Delhi: Last week, Sikkim’s longest serving Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, became the sole elected Opposition representative in the Assembly after the remaining 12 Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) MLAs defected, with 10 joining the BJP and another two joining the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM). Political instability is new to this relatively young state, where Chamling served as Chief Minister for 25 years starting 1994. It began when the SKM voted out the SDF with a slim margin time in April this year. * What happened in the Assembly elections? It was actually the 2014 elections that had heralded the arrival of the SKM, formed the previous year by Chamling’s former protégé P S Tamang, also known as P S Golay. The SKM won 10 of the 32 Assembly seats with 40.8 per cent of the vote, while the SDF held on with 22 seats and 55 per cent. This year, the SKM edged out the SDF by 17 seats to 15 but was marginally behind in vote shares, at 47.03 per cent to the SDF’s 47.63 per cent. In terms of actual members, the SDF had 13 because two of them had won from two seats each. It was the first time in the state that a government has been voted out. Sikkim has had a change in government twice earlier, but the incumbent government had already fallen before the new one was voted in. Some analysts look at the current situation as the birth of Sikkim as a true democracy. A kingdom until recently, Sikkim was seen as continuing with a “monarchic psychology” as long as Chamling was in the chair. Please click here to read more.
