On Thursday, repolling at four polling stations in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) achieved a voter turnout of 86.83%, according to an official from the state Election Commission. The initial elections were held on April 12, where approximately 83% of voters participated, despite reports of irregularities and clashes, including crude bomb incidents in Sepahijala district. The repolling was necessitated by these irregularities, affecting four out of 1,257 polling stations. Voting commenced at 7 am and included polling centers from the Maharani-Teliamura district council constituency and the Pekuarjala-Janmejayanagar constituency in Sepahijala district. All major political parties, including the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies, as well as opposition parties like the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Congress, are competing in these elections. The counting of votes is scheduled for April 17.
