The 2026 Puducherry Assembly elections concluded with the Aam Admi Party (AINRC), led by Chief Minister N. Rangaswamy, winning 18 out of 30 seats. This victory marks the continuation of AINRC's dominance in the region, a trend that has been evident since 2011. The party's coalition with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), LJKL, and AIADMK proved effective in securing a majority. The Indian National Congress, once a significant player, saw its representation dwindle to just one seat, reflecting its declining influence in Puducherry politics. Newcomer TVK made a notable entry by winning two seats, while the NMK secured one seat and independent candidates collectively won three. Key figures such as N. Rangaswamy triumphed in both the Thattanchavady and Mangalam constituencies. Other notable victories included A.M.H. Nazeem of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Karaikal South, and BJP leaders A. Johnkumar and A. Namassivayam in their respective constituencies. The results indicate a significant shift in the political landscape of Puducherry, with AINRC solidifying its hold on power.
