Darjeeling Assembly Election Results 2026
Darjeeling is a high-profile assembly constituency located in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. It is a predominantly urban and semi-urban constituency, encompassing the Darjeeling town, surrounding settlements, and nearby hill villages. The local economy depends heavily on tea plantations, tourism, small-scale trade, and services. Being a hill-region seat with a large Nepali-speaking population, Darjeeling has historically been politically sensitive, with issues around autonomy, local governance, and development influencing voter sentiment.
In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the constituency was won by Neeraj Zimba of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He defeated his nearest rival from the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) by a margin of approximately 3,000 votes. The narrow margin underscored the constituency’s highly competitive nature, shaped by local party influence, ethnic identities, and the interplay between hill-based parties and state-level political forces.
Key issues in Darjeeling include infrastructure development, tourism promotion, and economic opportunities. Road connectivity, water supply, drainage, and electricity reliability are ongoing concerns, especially in hill settlements. Tea garden workers and small traders often demand better wages, job security, and support for their livelihoods.
