The District Council elections were held in TTAADC on 12 April 2026 to elect all 28 members of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.[2][3] 25 of the 28 elected seats in the Autonomous District Council are reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The votes were counted and the results were declared on 17 April 2026.
The election resulted in a landslide victory for the Tipra Motha Party, which secured 24 of the 28 elected seats and secured 57.62% of the total votes polled. Despite being ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state and national elections, it decided to contest on its own in the district council polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party won the remaining 4 seats and increased its vote share by 8 percent to 27.44% but it's number of seats decreased.[4][5][6]
The Left Front which had ruled the council for many years, drew a blank for a second consecutive time. The alliance could not even secure 10% of the votes polled and did even come second in any seat.
