The Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) party candidate Indra Hang Subba was leading over ruling Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) nominee Dek Bahadur Katwal by over 6,000 votes in the state's lone Lok Sabha constituency on Thursday.
Subba has secured close to 49 per cent of the votes counted so far, with Katwal getting about 43 per cent.
