Imphal, May 19: Independent candidate Mani Charenamei has scripted a sort of a history by becoming the first independent candidate to ever win the Outer Parliamentary seat in Manipur for which counting was held today.

Mani romped home by a comfortable margin of 81,083 votes besting his nearest rival Loli Adanee of the BJP.

Mani secured a total of 2,28,422 votes while Adanee mustered 1,47,379 votes.

Even though the victory of Mani has been emphatic, the certificate is yet to be officially issued to him as reports from the AROs of some far flung places like Jiribam are yet to reach the office of the Returning Officer at Imphal till today.

The certificate is likely to be issued by tomorrow.
