As of 9:30 AM on May 4, 2026, early counting trends from the West Bengal Assembly elections show the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leading with 123 seats, while the Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is trailing with 108 seats. The majority mark required to form a government in the 294-seat assembly is 148 seats. The counting began at 8 AM, starting with postal ballots. This election has seen a historic voter turnout of 92.47%, the highest since India's independence. BJP's West Bengal president, Samik Bhattacharya, expressed confidence in a landslide victory, claiming that the people have rejected the TMC government. The election results are significant for regional parties, including the TMC and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), as well as national parties like the BJP and Congress. Notably, the election was marred by allegations of vote manipulation, and one constituency, Falta in South 24 Parganas district, was countermanded due to severe electoral offences, with fresh polls scheduled for May 21.
