Assembly By-Election Results 2025 LIVE Updates: TMC and CPI(M) eye bypolls result as a curtain raiser to Assembly election in 2026
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the CPI(M) are looking at the bypolls in West Bengal and Kerala, where they are in power respectively, as precursors to the Assembly polls slated next year in their states. A bypoll win would give them a boost in the 2026 final, with the campaigns reflecting their stakes.
The bypoll results are set to be announced today.
Nilambur (Kerala)
The bypoll here was necessitated by the resignation of the CPI(M)-backed Independent legislator P V Anvar. A win will be a shot in the arm for the CPI(M) ahead of the Assembly elections, which it would face while being the incumbent for an unprecedented two terms.
The Congress, which lost the Nilambur seat in the 2021 polls with a margin of 2,700 votes, has mounted a stiff challenge the CPI(M) and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. CM Vijayan has handpicked M Swaraj as the CPI(M)’s candidate from the seat, who has had a sharp rise in the party.
The Congress has nominated its old-timer Aryadan Shoukath from the seat, who had also contested in 2016. Shoukath brings with him legacy too, with his late father Aryadan Mohammad winning the seat eight times before.
Kaliganj (West Bengal)
In the 2021 Bengal Assembly polls, TMC leader Nasiruddin Ahmed, known as Lal in the party circles, won from the Kaliganj constituency by 46,987 votes against the BJP’s Abhijit Ghosh. It was Ahmed’s second win from the seat.
Ahmed died in February this year after a cardiac arrest. His daughter Alifa Ahmed is now contesting the bypoll on the TMC’s ticket, who is taking on the BJP’s Ashish Ghosh and the Congress’s Kabil Uddin.
The TMC has a base in the seat owing to Ahmed’s groundwork over the years and his popularity among its large Muslim population.
However, the campaigns of the contenders for the bypoll in the constituency has been charged.
The BJP targeted the TMC over the recent Murshidabad riots in which three persons were killed and several people were left homeless. The TMC, in turn, accused the BJP of “communal polarisation”.
Clearly, the BJP wants to break the TMC’s hold on this minority-dominated seat in Nadia district. Their face-off would also play out in the run-up to the 2026 Assembly polls.
