CALCULATED FINDING / COMPLETE WINNER COVERAGE
Tipaimukh changed its election-day winning party in 1 of the two observed transitions between 2012, 2017 and 2022. One transition retained the previous winning party and one changed it. The sequence matters more than a single endpoint comparison.

COMPETITION
2017 · the latest reconciled contest
Dr. Chaltonlien Amo received 4,997 of 11,774 candidate votes (42.44%). Dr. Lallukhum Fimate followed with 4,371 (37.12%). The margin was 626 votes, or 5.32 percentage points of candidate votes.
The winner did not exceed half of candidate votes. Winning under plurality rules does not require support from a majority on this denominator. The top two candidates together accounted for 79.57%, leaving 20.43% for the remaining candidates.
The contest had 5 candidates and an effective-candidate count of 2.84. The latter weights candidates by vote share: it distinguishes a field with many very small candidacies from one with several substantial competitors.

COMPARISON
Read comparable denominators.
1 of three elections have a full published candidate contest for Tipaimukh. Missing years interrupt the numerical series. A blank cell is a research gap, not zero support.
Margin percentage divides the winner–runner-up gap by all candidate votes in that election. It is not turnout, not a percentage of electors, and not a uniform swing required at the next election. Changes can reflect candidates, alliances, entry, participation and other conditions.
A cross-election party-share comparison is withheld until at least two complete contests are available. The party sequence above remains valid independently of those missing vote totals.
Interpreting the result as incumbent retention requires dated officeholding, by-election and party-switch records. Similar candidate names across years are not sufficient to establish personal continuity.

What needs a separate local evidence base
Current service access, displacement, livelihoods, road reliability, public works and rehabilitation outcomes need dated local records. State averages and historical map district labels cannot establish these conditions for Tipaimukh. Community composition and individual political preferences are not inferred from a candidate's name, reservation category or constituency geography.

Compare election-day candidates and parties. A change in winning party does not establish why voters changed their choices. Defections, by-elections and boundary changes require separate records.
District and hill/valley classification are withheld until a versioned administrative crosswalk is reviewed. Historical map district labels are not presented as current districts.
