Katwa Assembly Election Results 2026

Katwa is an important market town and assembly constituency in Purba Bardhaman district, serving as a major trading hub for the surrounding agricultural region. The constituency is semi-urban in character, with a diverse economy of trade, small industry and agriculture. Katwa has been a Trinamool Congress constituency in recent elections. In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the seat was won by Rabindranath Chatterjee of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). He secured victory over the nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of 9,155 votes. The result reflected the broader political alignment in the constituency and underlined the dominant party's organisational strength in the area. Trade, commerce and small enterprise development are key concerns for Katwa's semi-urban electorate. Agricultural support for the surrounding rural areas and market infrastructure for farmers are important demands. Urban civic amenities — roads, drainage and healthcare — are priorities for the town population. Employment, youth aspiration and welfare scheme delivery are also central to the political debate ahead of 2026. The 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections are shaping up as a high-stakes contest between the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is seeking to make major inroads into the state. With anti-incumbency, law-and-order concerns and welfare delivery all playing a role, every constituency is expected to be closely watched. Trinamool Congress has fielded Rabindranath Chatterjee for the 2026 election.
