Puducherry voters appear to be backing the NDA for a second straight term, with the AINRC-led alliance positioned to form the government. Incumbent Chief Minister N Rangasamy won the Thattanchavady constituency, while Election Commission trends show AINRC leading across multiple seats. With 16 seats needed to govern in a 30-member assembly, the NDA’s path to majority looks strong.
Early Election Commission trends from Puducherry’s 2026 Assembly counting show the All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) leading across the board, including a likely continued win for Chief Minister N Rangasamy in Thattanchavady. Counting is still underway across all constituencies, and final seat outcomes depend on results from remaining areas.
