Nandigram, a prominent electoral seat in East Midnapore district, West Bengal, is currently the center of attention as Suvendu Adhikari (Bharatiya Janata Party) faces off against Pabitra Kar (All India Trinamool Congress). The Adhikari family has traditionally held this seat, with Suvendu winning it in 2016 under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) banner. However, he later switched allegiance to the BJP, defeating incumbent Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the 2021 elections by a narrow margin of less than 2,000 votes. As the 2026 elections approach, exit polls indicate a favorable outcome for the BJP, suggesting a potential shift in governance after 15 years of TMC rule. Vote counting is set to begin at 8 AM, with many closely monitoring the results.
