The Election Commission is announcing the West Bengal assembly election 2026 results today, including the seats of Nandigram and Kharagpur Sadar, with a head-on fight between the incumbent Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The Nandigram seat is especially important because last time, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari pulled off an upset here against CM Mamata Banerjee, even though his party managed just 77 seats in the 294 member strong assembly.
Kharagpur Sadar is another assembly constituency in West Bengal which went to the BJP last time, with party leader Hiranmoy Chattopadhyaya winning against TMC’s Pradip Sarkar with the margin of 3,771 votes.
From Kharagpur Sadar, former West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh is in the fray against TMC’s Pradip Sarkar. Whereas Nandigram will see Suvendu Adhikari take on a new TMC face Pabitra Kar.
