2021–2025 West Bengal Legislative Assembly by-elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The By-elections for the 17th West Bengal Legislative Assembly were a series of by-elections held to fill vacant seats in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly between 2021 and 2025. Vacancies arose due to the deaths, resignations, or disqualifications of sitting members of the legislative assembly (MLAs). The by-elections were conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC or TMC) won the majority of the contested seats during this period.
