The Sikkim Himali Congress was a political party in Sikkim.[1] The party was founded after a split from the Sikkim Congress (Revolutionary), by SC(R) dissidents Dorjee Tshering (SC(R) vice president), S.K. Rai (former Member of Parliament) and P.B. Subba. The party was bankrolled by M.K. Subba, a businessman in Assam. The support for the party came mainly from the Matwali community.[2]
The party contested the 1985 legislative assembly election in alliance with the Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League, the Sikkim Prajatantra Congress and various independents.[3]
