In the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delivered a historic performance, winning 207 seats and securing a more than two-thirds majority, thereby ending the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). In the 294-member Assembly, the majority mark is at 148, but with polling countermanded in the Falta seat, counting was held for 293 seats, reducing the effective majority mark to 147. The role of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is being seen as a key factor in the BJP's sweeping victory.
