Prem Singh Tamang takes oath as Sikkim Chief Minister for second consecutive term

Prem Singh Tamang was sworn in as Sikkim's Chief Minister for a second term, along with his Council of Ministers, after his party, the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM), won 31 out of 32 seats in the assembly polls. Tamang hailed the victory as a record, promising to fulfill election promises in five years. The election, held on April 19 alongside the Lok Sabha polls, was described as the most peaceful in Sikkim's history. Interestingly, the SKM had previously allied with the BJP-led NDA in 2019 but later contested alone.
