The Sikkim Assembly will remain opposition-less following the withdrawal of nominations by candidates from the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) for two bypolls, resulting in uncontested victories for the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM). Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang's son, Aditya Golay, will be declared the winner from Soreng-Chakung, while Satish Chandra Rai will win from Namchi-Singhithang. The SDF candidates withdrew after their party failed to provide support, with one candidate citing a lack of backing during the nomination process. Earlier this year, the SKM secured 31 of the 32 Assembly seats, and the remaining SDF MLA joined the ruling party. Allegations of misconduct were raised by the Citizen Action Party regarding the disqualification of their candidates, but Golay dismissed these claims as unfounded. Rai expressed gratitude for the SKM's support and outlined plans to enhance local infrastructure.
