The West Bengal assembly elections, held on April 23 and April 29, have garnered significant attention as results are set to be announced today. The incumbent Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is vying for a historic fourth term, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aims to make history by winning in Bengal for the first time. The elections experienced a record voter turnout of 92.47%, with 93.19% in the first phase and 91.66% in the second phase. However, the elections were marred by allegations of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) tampering, leading to repolling in 15 booths in South 24 Parganas district and across all polling stations in Falta. The Election Commission of India has scheduled the repolling in Falta for May 21, with counting of those votes on May 24. Among the prominent candidates is Mamata Banerjee, who is contesting against BJP's Suvendu Adhikari in Bhabanipur.
