Next Indian Elections

The 2026 West Bengal Assembly election has emerged as one of the most closely watched political contests in India, primarily featuring a direct fight between the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Conducted in two phases with high voter turnout, the election reflects intense political polarization and shifting voter preferences. Exit polls released after voting suggest a highly competitive race: several agencies such as Matrize, P-Marq, Praja Poll and Poll Diary have projected a BJP victory or edge, while others like People’s Pulse and Janmat indicate a TMC comeback. Overall “poll of polls” trends show the BJP slightly ahead but not decisively, with some projections even pointing toward a hung assembly, meaning no party may cross the majority mark of 148 seats. However, experts caution that exit polls in Bengal have historically been unreliable, so the final outcome will only be clear after the official counting of votes.
