Background

[edit]

After the passing of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956 and the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956, Manipur was converted from a Part-C state to a Union Territory but, it wasn't assigned a Legislative Assembly.[1] Later, after the passing of The Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, Manipur was assigned a Legislative Assembly of 30 members.[2] A delimitation commission was set up which included the members of the Lok Sabha who were representing Manipur at the time.[2]
