The Bharatiya Janata Party won a decisive majority in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, ending the Trinamool Congress's long-standing rule in the state. Results declared on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, showed the BJP winning enough seats to form the government without coalition support.

BJP workers and supporters held victory rallies in Kolkata and across district headquarters, with processions of cars and motorcycles flying party flags. Slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' were raised outside the residences of Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee in the Kalighat area. Government offices in several districts also saw spontaneous gatherings of BJP-aligned employees.

A large crowd of BJP workers had gathered outside Mamata Banerjee's office in Kolkata on Monday, April 4, following vote counting. The Election Commission officially notified the results late Tuesday evening. The Governor is expected to invite the BJP to form the government in the coming days.
