Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang on April 13 claimed that his party, the SKM, was certain about winning 26 of the state's 32 assembly seats in the April 19 elections.
Addressing an election rally, Mr. Tamang claimed his party secured 99% of the votes cast through postal ballot.
"Twenty-six seats are certain. We will have to make serious efforts to convince the voters in the remaining six seats to get a bigger mandate to serve the people of Sikkim for a second term," he said.
