Mohla-Manpur (ST) delivered a clear numerical verdict in the 2023 Chhattisgarh Assembly election. Indrashah Mandavi of INC finished first with 77,454 votes, while Sanjeev Shah of BJP polled 45,713. The difference between them was 31,741 votes. The result is important not because it offers a shortcut to a future forecast, but because it records exactly how voters distributed their votes in this constituency in 2023.

Total electors: 168,008 | Voter turnout: 79.80% | Winning margin: 31,741 votes

How the Mohla-Manpur (ST) contest unfolded

The count placed Indrashah Mandavi at the head of the field with 77,454 votes, equivalent to 57.79% of the valid votes recorded in the official detailed result. Sanjeev Shah followed with 45,713 votes and 34.11%. That produced a gap of 31,741 votes between first and second place. In a constituency-level result story, this top-two gap is the central measure of the 2023 contest: it shows the distance between the two leading candidates on counting day without turning that distance into a claim about another election.

The contest was not limited to the top two names. Yuvraj Netam of HMR received 1,316 votes (0.98%). NOTA accounted for 3,354 votes. These numbers complete the picture of the constituency because they show how much of the vote remained outside the two leading candidates. They are best read as recorded choices in 2023, not as votes that can automatically be transferred to either leading party.

Turnout and the size of the electorate

ECI voter information records 168,008 electors in Mohla-Manpur (ST) and a voter turnout of 79.80%. Participation is part of the result story because it establishes the scale on which the candidate totals were produced. The winner’s 77,454 votes and the runner-up’s 45,713 votes therefore sit inside a constituency where a substantial share of registered electors participated in the poll.

The turnout figure should be kept separate from candidate vote share. Candidate vote share describes a candidate’s portion of votes counted under the official result denominator, while turnout describes participation among registered electors. Keeping the two measures distinct makes the record easier to compare with other elections without mixing different denominators.

What the third-place vote adds to the story

Yuvraj Netam’s 1,316 votes gave the 2023 result an additional layer beyond the BJP–Congress comparison. In Mohla-Manpur (ST), the third-place total was 0.98% of valid votes according to the result table. Its significance is factual: those votes were cast for Yuvraj Netam and HMR. Without survey or booth-level evidence, the result itself does not establish where those voters would have gone in a two-candidate contest.
