Election History
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a considerable number of seats in Tripura's 2019 Lok Sabha elections, signalling a historic shift in the state's political landscape. The BJP, in coalition with the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT), gained both parliamentary seats in the state, defeating the Left Front, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M). The BJP's victory marked a watershed moment, bringing an end to the CPI(M)'s control of more than two decades. The election results demonstrated a spike in support for the BJP, which campaigned aggressively, emphasising national concerns and promising development plans targeted to the state's needs. The 2019 election results highlighted Tripura's changing political dynamics and the BJP's gaining clout in India's northeastern region.
