Tripura Election Result 2023 LIVE Updates: The results for the 60 assembly seats in Tripura will be declared on March 2. The big question now is whether the BJP - which along with the People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) - dethroned the Left in 2018, will manage to hold onto its position.
The BJP and its allies look set to sail through in Tripura and Nagaland, where votes for assembly elections are being counted today. Meghalaya appears set for a hung assembly, with Conrad Sangma's party leading the field.
Pradyot Manikya Debburman, whose tribal-dominated party Tipra Motha is leading on 12 seats in Tripura, told NDTV today that their growing presence will ensure that the BJP will not be able to "sideline" issues relating to tribals.
Tipra Motha chairman Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma said that the party could sit independently, but not with Congress or the Communist Party of India (Marxist).
