Puducherry Election Result 2026 Highlights: AINRC powers NDA to 18 seats in Puducherry, majority secured

Puducherry Assembly Election Results 2026 Highlights: The high-stakes battle in the Union Territory for the 30 elected seats witnessed a fierce contest between the ruling NDA, led by Chief Minister N Rangasamy’s AINRC along with the BJP and AIADMK, and the opposition INDIA bloc, comprising the Congress and DMK. The election, held on April 9, recorded a near 90 per cent voter turnout. AINRC-led NDA secured 18 seats.

Why Puducherry is not so cherry for INDIA bloc

Seat-sharing delays between the Indian National Congress and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam have led to multiple “friendly contests” in Puducherry, with both parties fielding candidates in overlapping constituencies. The late pact has triggered on-ground rivalry, exposing coordination gaps within the INDIA bloc.
