Imphal, September 15 2014:
BJP which does not even have one MLA in the Manipur Legislative Assembly has won the by-election to Kakching Municipal Council Ward No 7 at the cost of ruling Congress party.
Counting of votes for the by-election was conducted today and BJP's S Premita won the by-election by a margin of 325 votes.
While Congress candidate M Lokendro secured 887 votes, Premita polled 1212 votes.
The ward has three polling stations.
Two of the polling stations are located within MLA Fazur Rahim's constituency while the third polling station is situated close to MLA Y Surchandra's home.
Elected S Premita was felicitated at the BJP State unit office, Nityaipat Chuthek this afternoon.

The felicitation function was attended by many BJP office bearers and supporters.
Speaking at the occasion, BJP State unit president Th Chaoba said that the by-election was a formidable one for BJP even though it was for a local body.
BJP contested the by-election with a conviction against the Congress party which has overwhelming number of MLAs and Ministers.
In the run up to the by-election, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and other Ministers canvassed for the Congress candidate and they even took recourse to muscle power and money power, alleged Chaoba.
But still BJP won the by-election riding on the people's faith in the party.
Like in the Kakching Municipal Council by-election, BJP would defeat the Congress.
