According to ECI, BJP has crossed the majority mark in the state; currently leading on 169 seats, as per the official EC trends.

To a major shock, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s TMC performance in Muslim dominated constituencies is also facing a setback, even when BJP has fielded 0 muslim candidates this year. Several BJP candidates are leading in Muslim majority constituencies as per trends.

In the ongoing West Bengal Election 2026 vote counting, the BJP is up early, and Mamata is telling TMC cadres to wait for later rounds because she expects the trend to reverse in TMC’s favour.
