The exit polls for the West Bengal Assembly Election 2026 are expected to provide insights into whether the Trinamool Congress (TMC) can maintain its grip on power or if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will make significant inroads. The election saw a remarkable voter turnout of 91% during the first phase, reflecting heightened public participation. The TMC, which has been in power since 2011, aims for a historic fourth consecutive term, having increased its seat count from 184 in 2011 to 215 in 2021. However, the BJP, which captured 18 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, poses a formidable challenge amid ongoing allegations of corruption and anti-incumbency sentiment. The TMC managed to recover in the 2024 elections, winning 29 seats compared to the BJP's 12. The results of the exit polls will be closely watched as they may indicate the political landscape of West Bengal in the coming years.
