West Bengal Election Result Live Updates: The political spotlight is on West Bengal this Friday as voters await the outcome of two closely watched Assembly by-elections in Nandigram and Rejinagar. With the BJP now governing the state after ending 15 years of Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule, the results could offer an early indication of voter sentiment towards the new administration and the opposition’s performance.

The Election Commission of India began counting votes at 8 AM on October 9, 2026, following polling on October 6. The two constituencies recorded voter participation of around 80%, while the campaigns feature competing allegations over polling irregularities and voter intimidation. The result will determine who represents the two constituencies in the West Bengal Assembly.

The two contests are attracting attention for different reasons. Nandigram became vacant after Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari retained Bhabanipur, while Rejinagar went to a by-election after Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) chief Humayun Kabir retained another constituency.

The results will show how candidates from the BJP, Congress, TMC and other parties have performed in the two seats.

Nandigram remains one of West Bengal’s most politically significant constituencies. The seat fell vacant after Suvendu Adhikari chose to retain Bhabanipur following the 2026 Assembly election.

The BJP fielded Hasirani Rath, while Congress candidate Milan Pradhan entered the contest with support from the TMC after its nominee withdrew. The contest will be watched as an assessment of the BJP’s position in a constituency closely associated with Adhikari’s political career.

The final result will depend on the official vote count and the margin between the candidates. Early leads should not be treated as a confirmed victory until the Election Commission declares the winner.
