West Bengal Election Result 2026: The West Bengal Assembly election has entered a decisive phase as counting gets underway across the state, with early trends indicating a strong surge for the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is leading in 185 seats, while the All India Trinamool Congress trails with around 100. Counting is in progress across constituencies. In Bhabanipur, BJP's Suvendu Adhikari is trailing Mamata Banerjee after five rounds. In the 2021 election, Banerjee had lost to Adhikari in Nandigram, making this contest closely watched. The election follows the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which became a major campaign issue after over 91 lakh names were removed. Several leaders, including former Trinamool MLA Humayun Kabir, who floated his own party ahead of the polls, remained in focus during the campaign.ECI Results | Tamil Nadu Nadu Results | Kerala ResultsWest Bengal Counting Underway: Candidates Leading and TrailingMamata Banerjee Leads After Round 3; Suvendu Adhikari TrailsBJP's Lakshmi Kanta Sau Leads In Jhargram, AITC's Mongal Saren TrailsBJP's Agnimitra Paul is Leading From Asansol DakshinTMC's Anisur Rahaman Bidesh is Leading from DegangaBJP's Arijit Roy is Leading From Barabani, while Bidhan Upadhyay is TrailingRecord Turnout, High StakesThe massive turnout has added to the suspense, with women voters once again turning out in large numbers and several constituencies witnessing exceptionally high participation. Election Commission officials have attributed the surge to cleaner electoral rolls, enhanced security arrangements, and improved accessibility at polling stations. Conventional political wisdom suggests such a high turnout could signal a strong desire for change, making the final verdict even more keenly anticipated. However, the SIR process, which led to the deletion of lakhs of names from the electoral rolls, makes it difficult to predict how the bumper voting will impact the final outcome.Follow Every Twist LiveStay with this live blog for minute-by-minute updates as West Bengal's political future unfolds.
