The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) has released its candidate list for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, naming nominees across 150+ constituencies.
The list includes a mix of familiar faces, local leaders, and a smaller set of first-time candidates. Several constituencies reserved for SC and ST categories have also been filled.
The West Bengal elections are scheduled to take place in two phases on April 23 and 29, while the results will be announced on May 4.
The main parties contesting the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections are the incumbent All India Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Mamata Banerjee, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the principal opposition. The Congress party is also in the fray and will attempt to gain some lost ground in Bengal.
