The campaign for the second and final phase of the 60-member Manipur Assembly, covering 22 seats and slated for 8 March, ended on Monday at 3 pm.
A total of 98 candidates are in the fray for the second phase, when polling will be held in the Valley district of Thoubal and the hill districts of Ukhrul, Chandel, Tamenglong and Senapati.
The fate of almost all big names in the north-east state's politics – including Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, Deputy CM Gaikhangam and human rights activist-turned-politician Irom Chanu Sharmila – will be decided in this phase.
