The results for the 2026 Puducherry Legislative Assembly elections will be declared today, May 4, 2026. This election is crucial as it will determine if the ruling alliance, led by the All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) under Chief Minister N. Rangasamy, retains power or if the opposition coalition can reclaim governance. Voting was conducted peacefully in a single phase on April 9, 2026, covering 30 constituencies across the Puducherry region and parts of Karaikal, Mahe, and Yanam. The election recorded a strong voter turnout of nearly 90%, reflecting significant public engagement. In the previous 2021 elections, the ruling National Democratic Alliance, comprising AINRC, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, won 16 out of 30 seats, while the United Progressive Alliance, which included the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Indian National Congress, secured eight seats.
