West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will contest the 2026 Assembly elections from her Bhabanipur constituency. It is set to be a high-stakes clash with BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari, her former lieutenant and current political rival.
Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Banerjee, released its candidate list for the two-phase polls on April 23 and April 29, fielding nominees for 291 of 294 seats. The party will leave three Darjeeling seats to the Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha as part of a seat-sharing arrangement.
Banerjee will not contest Nandigram, where she lost to Adhikari in 2021. TMC has instead fielded Pabitra Kar, a close aide of Adhikari who recently joined the party.
The BJP has declared Adhikari for both Bhabanipur and Nandigram.
TMC is aiming for a fourth consecutive term in West Bengal
. The CPI (M) is also in the fray and already declared its list of candidates.
Results will be declared on May 4.
Under the leadership of our Hon’ble Chairperson Smt. @MamataOfficial, and the guidance of National General Secretary Shri @abhishekaitc and State President Shri Subrata Bakshi, we are pleased to announce the full list of candidates for the upcoming West Bengal Legislative… pic.twitter.com/KOXzZ29YXz
