Assembly Election Results 2026 Live: Multi-State Trends Show BJP Gains, Congress Leads in Kerala
Vote counting is underway across four Indian states and one Union Territory in the Assembly Elections 2026, with early trends indicating significant political shifts.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has crossed the majority mark in West Bengal trends and is heading toward a strong victory in Assam, while the Congress-led alliance is gaining ground in Kerala.
Bengal Trends: BJP Crosses Majority Mark, TMC Trails
In West Bengal, early counting trends show the BJP moving ahead of the majority threshold, while the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has slipped below the 100-seat mark.
The developments signal a potentially historic shift in the state’s political landscape, where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been aiming for another term in office.
Slogans Raised Outside Mamata Banerjee’s Residence
Amid rising enthusiasm among BJP supporters, reports from Kolkata indicate that a group of party workers gathered outside Mamata Banerjee’s residence and raised religious slogans during the ongoing vote counting.
The situation reflects heightened political emotions as early trends favor the BJP, although authorities have not reported any major law-and-order incidents so far.
Assam Trends: BJP Heads Toward Decisive Win
According to data released by the Election Commission of India, as of around 12:30 PM, the BJP was leading in 78 seats in Assam.
The Congress was ahead in 24 seats, while the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) led in 10 seats and the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) in 9 seats.
These trends indicate a comfortable lead for the BJP-led alliance in the northeastern state.
Kerala Trends: Congress-Led UDF Moves Toward Victory
In Kerala, the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is trending ahead, with celebrations reported among party workers.
The results suggest a shift in voter preference in the southern state, where electoral contests are traditionally bipolar between the UDF and the Left Democratic Front (LDF).
Celebrations Begin at BJP Headquarters in Kolkata
At the BJP headquarters in Kolkata, party workers have already begun celebrating as early leads favor the party.
Supporters expressed optimism about forming the government in West Bengal, calling the moment a turning point in the state’s political history. Some workers invoked former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s famous lines about political change, reflecting the mood of celebration.
Counting Continues, Final Results Awaited
While early trends provide a snapshot of the evolving electoral picture, officials emphasize that final results will be confirmed only after the completion of all counting rounds.
Security remains tight across counting centers, and authorities are monitoring the situation closely to ensure a smooth and transparent process.
