The Ballygunge constituency in Kolkata is set to vote on April 29, 2026, as part of the West Bengal Assembly elections. Historically a stronghold for the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the constituency is being closely monitored as the TMC seeks to maintain its dominance against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which aims to expand its influence among urban voters. The TMC has consistently won this seat since 2006, with veteran politician Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay contesting for the party in 2026. The BJP has nominated Shatorupa to appeal to the urban middle class. The previous election saw TMC's Babul Supriyo winning with a margin of 51,199 votes. Voter demographics indicate a significant Muslim population at 50.80%, and the constituency had 253,070 registered voters in 2024. As the elections approach, the focus remains on whether the TMC can sustain its hold or if the BJP will make significant inroads.
