Votes for the Tripura Assembly election of 2023, which was held on February 16 and was intended to choose the next state government, are currently being counted. The election was viewed as a three-cornered, high-stakes contest between the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Left-Cong alliance, and debutante Tipra Motha.
Chief minister Dr. Manik Saha has won from the Town Bardowali who defeated Congress' Asish Kumar Saha. All eyes will be on the performance of the ruling BJP, following its 2018 victory when it ended the 25 year-long rule of the Left. Meanwhile, this time, Congress and the Left have joined hands to challenge the BJP.
Here's a complete list of winners and losers:
In total, 28.12 lakh voters, or 89.98%, utilised their right to vote on February 16 during the Tripura assembly polls. The trends for five to eight rounds of voting are expected by noon. As many as 259 candidates from different political parties are in the fray.
