The Kolkata Port Assembly constituency, part of the Kolkata Dakshin Lok Sabha segment, is gearing up for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Firhad Hakim, a senior leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the incumbent since 2011, is the only confirmed candidate as of April 2, 2026. The TMC has maintained dominance in this area, evidenced by Hakim's significant victory margin of 68,554 votes in the 2021 elections against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Awadh Kishore Gupta. The upcoming campaign is expected to address critical issues such as employment linked to the port, housing and infrastructure, and civic services, which are particularly relevant to the constituency's working-class and migrant-heavy population. With limited competition on the horizon, Kolkata Port is not viewed as a swing seat, and TMC's entrenched support base positions them favorably for the upcoming elections unless unexpected candidate announcements arise.
