Coochbehar Dakshin Assembly Election Results 2026

Cooch Behar Dakshin is a key assembly constituency located in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal. Unlike some neighbouring seats, this constituency is not reserved and features a mixed voter base comprising urban, semi-urban and rural populations. The constituency’s political behaviour has traditionally reflected broader electoral trends seen across north Bengal, where contests between the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have intensified in recent elections. In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the constituency was won by Nikhil Ranjan Dey of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He defeated his nearest rival from the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) with a margin of 28,237 votes. The victory was seen as a significant gain for the BJP in the district, contributing to its strong performance across several north Bengal constituencies during that election cycle. Key issues in Cooch Behar Dakshin centre around infrastructure development, employment opportunities and civic amenities. Road conditions, traffic management and urban infrastructure are recurring concerns in populated areas, while rural pockets often highlight demands related to irrigation, flood control and agricultural support. Employment generation remains a prominent issue, particularly for young voters seeking stable jobs within the region.
