The election resulted in a landslide victory for the Tipra Motha Party, which secured 24 of the 28 elected seats and secured 57.62% of the total votes polled. Despite being ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state and national elections, it decided to contest on its own in the district council polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party won the remaining 4 seats and increased its vote share by 8 percent to 27.44% but its number of seats decreased.[4][5][6]

The Left Front which had ruled the council for many years, drew a blank for a second consecutive time. The alliance could not even secure 10% of the votes polled and did even come second in any seat.

Reactions and aftermath

edit

The BJP Tripura claimed, hundreds of its party workers were homeless in post poll violence. However, the Tipra Motha Party has denied any link to the violence.[52]

Just days after the election result Ananta Debbarma rejoined Tipra Motha Party on 21 April 2026, who was left the party before the election and contested against Tipra Motha Party with BJP ticket.[53][54]

Tipra Motha Party MLA Swapna Debbarma who was among a group of legislators who were reportedly in talks with the BJP ahead of the TTAADC polls. However, prior to the polls, she met party supremo Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma in Shillong and expressed regret over the developments.[55][56][57]

On 27 April 2026, the oath taking ceremony of newly elected members of TTAADC took place at Khumulwng.[58][59] But the BJP boycotted the oath taking ceremony alleging irregularities in recruitment in the TTAADC. According to the statement of former Lok Sabha MP Rebati Tripura, approximately 120 appointments were made without public notification or adherence to established procedures, and some appointees had already joined their posts.[60][61]
