Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the Chief Minister of West Bengal on May 9, 2026, marking a historic political shift in the state. His party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), secured a decisive victory in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections by crossing the majority mark of 148 seats, ultimately winning around 207 seats in the 294-member Assembly. The result ended the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Mamata Banerjee, which was reduced to around 80 seats in a major electoral setback.
