Tripura Assembly Election Results 2023

There are 60 seats up for grabs in Tripura and in the previous elections the BJP registered a historic win by ousting the CPM. The BJP won 33, CPM, 15 and Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), 4. Following the win, the BJP made Biplab Deb the CM, but he was replaced with Dr. Manik Saha due to performance issues.

The big challenge for Saha would be to iron out differences in the state unit. Further the relationship with the IPFT is not exactly hunky dory. Union Home Minister, Amit Shah had to intervene to iron out these differences when he paid a visit to the state to flag off the Jana Vishwas Yatra. This time too the Left and Congress will fight the elections together like they did in 2018. The two parties would also face a challenge from the TMC which has been trying to increase its base in the state.
