Puducherry Elections 2026 Result News Live: AINRC chief and CM N Rangasamy first winner from Thattanchavady

Riding on a pro-incumbency wave, the AINRC-led NDA emerged victorious in the April 9 Puducherry Assembly elections, all set to form the government for a successive term.

AINRC leader and Chief Minister N Rangasamy won from both the seats that he contested--Thattanchavady and Mangalam, even as the party won a total of 11 seats and was leading in one, according to latest Election Commission figures.

Elections to 30 seats were held on April 9. The territorial assembly also has three nominated members to the House.


NDA constituent BJP won from four seats while other coalition members--AIADMK and LJK, won from one seat each.

Winners from BJP included party senior and incumbent minister A Namassivayam.

The NDA's victory came on a day when actor Vijay-led TVK won in neighbouring Tamil Nadu and also emerged victorious from two seats in the UT.

Puducherry, a tiny UT located about 160 km from Chennai, borders Tamil Nadu districts Cuddalore and Villupuram on either sides.
