Khanapur (Vidhana Sabha constituency)

For seat by the same name in Maharashtra, see : Khanapur Vidhan Sabha Seat in Maharashtra.

Khanapur Vidhan Sabha seat is one of the 224 assembly constituencies in the state of Karnataka in India. It is one of the 8 constituencies which make up Uttara Kannada (Lok Sabha constituency). It has been a stronghold of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) whose candidates tend to contest as independents because it is not officially recognized as a party. For 11 consecutive elections, 1957 to 2004, the seat returned an independent candidate as winner, which should be some sort of a record, though many of those winners were certainly activists for a specific unit of MES. In 1962, MES did contest the election under its own official name.
