The incumbent [[All India Trinamool Congress]] government led by [[Mamata Banerjee]] won the election by a large margin, despite [[opinion poll]]s generally predicting a close race against the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], which became the official opposition with 77 seats. The [[Sanjukta Morcha]] won one seat, and the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|leftist parties]] did not win any seats. Banerjee contested [[Nandigram (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Nandigram]], but lost to [[Suvendu Adhikari]], whose victory remains [[2021 Nandigram controversy|controversial]]. | |||

In the [[2019 Indian general election in West Bengal|2019 general elections]], the BJP increased its number of [[Lok Sabha]] seats from 2 to 18, and took 40% of the vote share, an increase from 11% in the 2016 elections.
