Counting for the 2026 West Bengal election shows the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leading in over 190 seats. The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is trailing in early trends. In key seats, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari is ahead in Nandigram and locked in a close contest in Bhabanipur. Adhikari said, “It is a clear mandate. This is the win of the people of West Bengal.” Counting is still underway, and trends may change with more rounds. (PC: X)
