Mangalkot Assembly Election Results 2026

Mangalkot is a rural constituency in Purba Bardhaman district with a predominantly agricultural economy and a notable terracotta and pottery craft tradition. The constituency is part of the Katwa subdivision and has been a Trinamool Congress stronghold. Mangalkot's rural character and cultural heritage make it a distinct political constituency within the broader Bardhaman belt. In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the seat was won by Apurba Chowdhury of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). He secured victory over the nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of 22,337 votes. The result reflected the broader political alignment in the constituency and underlined the dominant party's organisational strength in the area. Agricultural support, crop pricing and access to cold storage are key concerns for Mangalkot's farming community. The terracotta and handicraft sector also needs government support to sustain artisan livelihoods. Rural road connectivity, healthcare access and drinking water availability are persistent infrastructure demands. Employment for youth and welfare scheme delivery are important voter concerns. 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 Apurba Chowdhury (Achal) while BJP has fielded Shishir Ghosh for the 2026 election.
