Tripura Election Results 2023 Live Updates: BJP-IPFT alliance wins 33 seats in Tripura, secures second term
Tripura Election Results 2023: The counting of votes polled in the Tripura assembly elections is under way.
Early trends
Tripura went to assembly elections in a single-phase polling on February 16. For the first time in Tripura, the Election Commission has appointed a counting observer for each of the 60 assembly constituencies to ensure the counting of votes in a free and fair manner.
Stakes seem higher
The stakes seem higher for the BJP as results will signal if it has deepened its roots in Tripura, a Left bastion captured by the party in 2018, or if the opposition has managed to dent its influence. BJP performs puja ahead of results: BJP performed puja at the party office in Tripura's Agartala on Thursday ahead of the counting of votes for the Assembly elections today. The state BJP president Rajib Bhattacharjee exuded confidence in returning to power again in the state.
Exit poll predictions
Exit polls have predicted that the BJP and allies are set to retain power in Tripura. The BJP and its partner IPFT are expected to win around 32 out of 60 seats in Tripura, which is just above the majority mark of 31, the poll of exit polls shows.
2018 assembly results
The 2018 assembly polls saw the BIP-led NDA win a comfortable majority, bagging 44 of the 60 seats. BJP won 35 seats on its own, ending CPM-led Left Front's 25-year hold on government.
