The first phase of campaigning for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal and Assam concludes today, ending the initial outreach by political parties ahead of the polls.
The election season entered its final stretch for the first phase as political parties completed their canvassing efforts in West Bengal and Assam today. Over the past weeks, candidates and party workers held rallies, door‑to‑door visits, and public meetings to present their manifestos and rally support.
Election officials have confirmed that the campaigning window for phase‑1 will close at midnight, after which the Model Code of Conduct will be strictly enforced. The Election Commission has urged all parties to maintain a peaceful atmosphere and respect the code.
Analysts note that the end of the first phase campaign sets the tone for voter sentiment in both states, where regional dynamics and alliance formations will play a crucial role in the upcoming polls.
The next phases of the assembly elections are scheduled to begin later this month, with the Election Commission monitoring compliance across all constituencies.
