The 2007 Himachal Pradesh legislative assembly election were held in [[Himachal Pradesh]] in 2007.

===2012 Legislative Assembly election===
{{Main|2012 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election}}
The 2012 Himachal Pradesh legislative assembly election, 2012 was held in [[Himachal Pradesh]], India in 2012 after the five-year term of the incumbent state legislature and government expired following the [[2007 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|assembly elections of 2007]]. The election chose 68 MLAs to the ''[[Vidhan Sabha]]''.

The results were declared on 20 December 2012. Congress defeated BJP and won outright majority by securing 36 of the 68 seats under the leadership of Virbhadra Singh - thus proving most of the pollsters and exit polls wrong, which had predicted a photo-finish. The BJP lagged far behind with just 26 seats in its kitty whereas its breakaway faction HLP won just 1 seat. The Congress won despite some 'unpopular' decisions made by the Congress-led Central government days before the election as part of its economic reforms, and the victory is likely to boost such reforms by the Centre.

Both Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh had BJP governments and went to polls together. But unlike Gujarat, where the BJP under the leadership of [[Narendra Modi]] retained power by winning a massive 115 out of 182 seats, in Himachal Pradesh, the Prem Kumar Dhumal-led BJP lost due to a huge anti-incumbency wave.

Cong veteran leader Virbhadra Singh takes oath for record sixth term as Himachal chief minister at historic Ridge ground in Shimla on 25 December 2012.

===2017 Legislative Assembly election===
{{Main|2017 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election}}
BJP won 44 out of 68 seats to form the government, ousting Congress party from power. [[Indian National Congress]] won 21 seats. Jai Ram Thakur was appointed as Chief Minister after the elections.
