Analysts say the Manipur legislative assembly may be dissolved before completing its five‑year term, aligning with the proposed One Nation One Election schedule for 2027.
The Sangai Express reports that the current Manipur legislative assembly, elected in 2022, may see its tenure shortened to accommodate the central government's One Nation One Election (ONE) plan slated for 2027. Under the ONE scheme, all state and parliamentary elections would be synchronized, potentially requiring early dissolution of state assemblies whose terms extend beyond the national poll date.
If the proposal proceeds, the Manipur assembly, whose term is set to run until 2027, could be dissolved before the scheduled end of its five‑year mandate. Such a move would need either a constitutional amendment or a consensus among political parties to adjust the election calendar.
State officials have not confirmed any official timetable, but the report highlights that the possibility of an early poll is being discussed as part of broader efforts to streamline India's electoral process.
