Keshpur is an assembly constituency in Paschim Medinipur district, historically associated with intense political conflict during the Left Front era. The constituency has a predominantly rural and agricultural character and has witnessed significant political transformation since the TMC came to power. It has been held by the Trinamool Congress in recent elections.
In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the seat was won by Seuli Saha of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). She secured victory over the nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The result reflected the broader political alignment in the constituency and underlined the dominant party's organisational strength in the area.
Agricultural welfare, rural road connectivity and access to government welfare schemes are central to voter concerns in Keshpur. The constituency's history of political violence has made law and order a significant issue for residents who value peace and stability. Employment, healthcare access and the functioning of local panchayats are important political themes. The delivery of welfare entitlements and economic development are key priorities for 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 Seuli Saha while BJP has fielded Suvendu Samanta for the 2026 election.
