The results of by-elections in five Assembly constituencies across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, along with the Nagaon Lok Sabha seat in Assam, will be declared on Friday following the counting of votes.
In West Bengal, the Nandigram Assembly seat fell vacant after Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari won from two constituencies in the state Assembly elections earlier this year and chose to retain the other seat. He had also won from Nowda. The Nagaon parliamentary constituency in Assam also went to the polls. The Rejinagar seat became vacant after Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) founder Humayun Kabir resigned. In Puducherry, voting took place in the Thattanchavady Assembly constituency. The Nagaon Lok Sabha seat in Assam witnessed a three-way contest involving the BJP, Congress and AIUDF. The seat fell vacant after Pradyut Bordoloi left the Congress and joined the BJP. It is certain that we will win by a massive margin of votes unprecedented in the history of Tamil Nadu politics. The margin will be such that it will amaze the people.
Polling for the by-elections was held on October 6 in Nandigram and Rejinagar in West Bengal, two constituencies in Tamil Nadu, and Thattanchavady in Puducherry. The constituency had been won by the Congress in the 2019 and 2024 general elections. He subsequently won the Dispur Assembly constituency in the 2026 Assam Legislative Assembly elections.
This by-election will be a historic event that recognises the achievements of the Chief Minister”, he said.
