Who Won In Bengal Election 2026? Check Result For Mamata Banerjee In One-Sided Fight With BJP

The Election Commission of India is publishing election trends for several state and UT assembly elections. The data shows that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading towards an overwhelming electoral victory. The West Bengal Assembly election took place over two separate voting days, the first phase on April 23 and the second phase on April 29. The 2026 assembly election was an intense contest between the sitting Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.  In Assam, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is likely to come back to power. In Kerala, the United Democratic Front (UDF) led by the Congress party will most likely secure a remarkable majority, whereas in Tamil Nadu, actor turned politician Vijay has had a huge lead in the election. In Puducherry, the NRC alliance is leading ahead of the Congress, leading on 17 seats. 

The TMC was seeking to win a historic fourth consecutive term in West Bengal as the BJP is all set to win its first-ever term in the state. Counting is being conducted for 293 seats. On May 21, the ECI had ordered repolling in the constituency of Falta.
