Out of the 334 seats, BJP won 112 uncontested and 222 seats went to polls - the BJP won 217 of those seats.

TMC and CPI(M) won one seat each.

BJP President JP Nadda thanked and congratulated the people of Tripura for the victory, and said it shows people's trust in governance of Prime Minister Modi.

TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee meanwhile tweeted that given TMC started working in Tripura just a few months before the local elections, the results are exceptional.
