NEW DELHI — Early vote-counting trends for by-elections across key Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies reveal crucial shifts in regional political strongholds across Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Assam.
The preliminary results across the multi-state bypolls highlight several strategic battlegrounds:
-
Tamil Nadu & Puducherry: The ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Chief Minister Vijay, holds early leads over the AIADMK and DMK in the Dharapuram and Madurantakam Assembly seats. Counting also continues in Puducherry for the Thattanchavady seat.
-
West Bengal: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has established early leads in both the Nandigram and Rejinagar Assembly constituencies, testing the party’s momentum following the 2026 state assembly elections against a divided Trinamool Congress Opposition.
-
Assam: In the high-stakes Nagaon Lok Sabha seat, the BJP leads in a three-way contest featuring the Congress and AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal, following the resignation of former MP Pradyut Bordoloi.
