Polling for the 294-member Assembly occurred in two phases, with the first phase on April 23 and the second on April 29. By 11 am on April 29, voter turnout reached 39.97%, covering 142 of the 294 seats.

Key statistics from the election:

• The total number of Assembly seats is 294.
• The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is predicted to secure around 192 seats, with a margin of plus or minus 11 seats.
• The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is projected to win approximately 100 seats, also with a margin of plus or minus 11 seats.
• Approximately 3.21 crore voters were eligible to participate in this phase.

Ganguly noted that while previous polling had shown high turnout rates—over 90%—the final results would only be clear once votes are counted on May 4, 2026. “How can I answer such a question? Only on Monday, when the ballot box opens, will we all know the answer,” he remarked.

The main contest remains between TMC and BJP, with exit polls indicating a slight edge for BJP. Nevertheless, uncertainties linger as both parties await the official vote count next week.
