CPIM Leads Nomination Filing
CPIM candidates have filed 868 nomination papers involving 865 candidates so far.
The party recorded a major push on September 4. Its candidates submitted 528 nomination papers during the day.
Several blocks reported heavy CPIM filing activity. Satchand recorded 83 nominations. Manu registered 63. Pecharthal saw 59. Rupaichari recorded 58.
The figures point to a strong organisational drive by the Left party ahead of the village committee polls.
TMP Maintains Strong Presence
The TMP has also mounted a significant nomination campaign.
The party has filed 839 nomination papers involving 839 candidates. It submitted 417 papers on September 4.
Gomati district remains a key area for the TMP. Killa recorded 124 nominations. Ompi registered 120. Amarpur followed with 103.
The party also recorded substantial participation in other districts. Jampaijala in Sepahijala registered 88 nominations. Belbari in West Tripura recorded 60. Dasda in North Tripura saw 48. Old Agartala registered 28. Gournagar in Unakoti recorded 23.
BJP Yet to Enter Nomination Race
The absence of BJP nominations is a notable feature of the latest official figures.
The BJP is the ruling party in Tripura. However, no nomination has been recorded under its name in the data available as of September 4.
This puts the immediate nomination filing contest between CPIM and TMP in sharper focus. The situation could change as the filing process continues.
Contest Takes Shape Across TTAADC
The latest figures suggest an active electoral contest across the TTAADC’s 41 blocks.
CPIM has recorded the highest overall number of nomination papers so far. TMP has also demonstrated substantial organisational reach, particularly in Gomati and other parts of the ADC area.
The next phase of the nomination process will be crucial. The entry of the BJP could significantly alter the current picture.
For now, the figures show CPIM ahead, TMP maintaining a strong challenge and the ruling BJP yet to enter the nomination race.
