TMC Candidate List 2026

KOLKATA– The political landscape in West Bengal has reached a fever pitch as the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) officially released its list of 291 candidates for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections. In a high-stakes announcement, party supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee confirmed she will contest from her traditional stronghold of Bhabanipur, where she is set to face a direct challenge from BJP heavyweight Suvendu Adhikari.

Key Battles and Strategic Shifts

The headline clash of the election will undoubtedly be in Bhabanipur. In a bold move, the BJP has fielded Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari against the Chief Minister. Notably, Adhikari is also contesting from Nandigram, the seat where he famously defeated Banerjee in the 2021 polls.

TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, who presented the list alongside the Chief Minister, expressed immense confidence in the party’s prospects. “We are confident of winning over 226 constituencies,” he stated, emphasizing the party’s grassroots strength.

Diversity in Candidacy

TMC Candidate List 2026 reflects a strategic focus on social representation:

• Women: 52 candidates.
• SC/ST Communities: 95 candidates.
• Minority Communities: 47 candidates.

High-profile names on the list include Firhad Hakim (Kolkata Port), Kunal Ghosh (Beleghata), Madan Mitra (Kamarhati), and Sujit Bose (Bidhannagar). The party has also integrated younger faces and cultural icons, such as Sayantika Banerjee (Baranagar) and Soham Chakraborty (Karimpur).

The party is contesting 291 of the 294 seats, leaving the 3 hill seats (Kalimpong, Darjeeling, and Kurseong) for its ally, the Anit Thapa-led BGPM.
