Ranibandh Assembly Election Results 2026

Ranibandh (ST), Assembly Constituency No. 250, lies in southwestern Bankura district in South Bengal, near the Jharkhand border in the Jangalmahal zone. Covering Ranibandh community development block, the constituency is characterized by forested laterite terrain, Shilabati river tributaries, and densely settled Scheduled Tribe communities—Santhal, Munda, Lodha—alongside marginal peasant farmers. With 244,000+ electors, the area has a deeply rural, forest-dependent economy. Key voter concerns include Forest Rights Act implementation, tribal welfare scheme delivery, drinking water, road connectivity into forest interiors, healthcare, and protection against displacement from conservation projects. A classic Jangalmahal-type seat, once affected by Maoist mobilization, now in bipolar TMC-BJP-Left contest where tribal identity and welfare delivery are decisive. High turnout (84.5per cent) under Bishnupur Lok Sabha. In 2021, TMC's Jyotsna Mandi—an ST woman MLA—won by just 3,939 votes (~1.9per cent of 206,944 votes), an extremely narrow result. This wafer-thin margin makes Ranibandh among the most competitive seats in the Jangalmahal belt. An extremely marginal TMC hold; any erosion of tribal voter support for TMC could flip this reserved seat. Critical for the tribal-bloc balance under Bishnupur Lok Sabha and TMC's Jangalmahal consolidation narrative.
