TMP Takes Strong Lead
TMP has established a substantial lead in the Village Committee elections.
By 6 PM, the party had won 1,156 seats in direct contests. In addition, candidates backed by TMP had already secured 1,557 seats without a contest.
Together, these victories gave TMP a provisional tally of 2,713 seats, or around 59.02% of the 4,597 Village Committee seats.
The figure highlights the party’s strong position across the tribal areas even before the final counting ends.
BJP Remains in Second Position
The BJP occupied the second position in the available results.
The party had won 400 seats through direct contests and another 81 seats uncontested. Its combined tally therefore stood at 481 seats, representing around 10.46% of the total seats.
The figures also show a strong presence of the BJP in the Village Committee institutions, although TMP has secured a much larger share of the seats.
NDA Partners Show Strong Presence
TMP and BJP are political allies under the NDA in Tripura.
Their combined provisional tally stood at 3,194 seats when contested and uncontested victories were added together.
However, most of the alliance’s seats came from TMP. The party’s large number of uncontested victories played a major role in its overall advantage.
Independents Secure Third Position in Contested Results
Independent candidates also recorded a notable performance in the direct contests.
They had secured 83 seats by 6 PM. Based on the available figures, this represented around 1.81% of the total 4,597 seats.
Independents therefore ranked third in terms of seats won through direct contests at that stage.
CPI(M), IPFT and Congress Trail
The CPI(M) had secured 37 seats through direct contests by 6 PM. This represented around 0.80% of the total Village Committee seats.
The Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) had won 17 seats, while the Congress had secured 10 seats.
Therefore, both parties remained significantly behind TMP and BJP in the available results.
Party-Wise Contest Position
After withdrawals, TMP had candidates remaining in 4,279 seats. BJP candidates remained in 1,853 seats, while CPI(M) had 2,151 candidates.
Congress had 425 candidates, IPFT had 356 and independent candidates numbered 753.
These figures represent candidates remaining in contests and cannot be added together to determine the number of unique contested seats because multiple parties contested the same constituencies.
TMP’s Direct Contest Performance
Of the 4,279 TMP candidates remaining after withdrawals, 1,557 seats were won uncontested.
This left approximately 2,722 TMP candidates involved in direct contests. By 6 PM, 1,156 of those contests had resulted in TMP victories.
Similarly, BJP had 1,853 candidates after withdrawals. With 81 uncontested victories, approximately 1,772 candidates remained in direct contests, of whom 400 had won by 6 PM.
Counting Still Underway
The figures available at 6 PM on October 5 remain provisional.
Counting continued at different centres across Tripura. As a result, the seat tally of each party could change before the authorities announce the final results.
The final outcome will provide a clearer picture of the political balance across all 587 Village Committees.
Why the Election Matters
The Village Committee elections are important because they represent grassroots-level administration in areas under the TTAADC.
The results are therefore being closely watched by political parties and observers across Tripura. The elections also carry significance for tribal politics and local governance in the state.
At the current stage, however, TMP has established a decisive lead, while BJP remains in second place.
