The Trinamool Congress has announced Sanchita Pradhan as its candidate for the Nandigram by‑poll and Rabiul Alam Chowdhury for the Rejinagar by‑poll.
The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) disclosed its slate of candidates for two pending by‑elections in West Bengal. Sanchita Pradhan has been named the party’s nominee for the Nandigram constituency, while Rabiul Alam Chowdhury will contest the Rejinagar seat.
Both constituencies are slated for by‑polls following the vacancies that arose earlier this year. The party’s selections aim to consolidate its regional foothold ahead of the upcoming electoral calendar.
Party officials said the candidates were chosen after internal consultations and will represent TMC’s agenda in the respective districts. Election authorities are expected to announce the exact polling dates in the coming weeks.
The announcements come as TMC seeks to maintain its dominance in the state, especially in areas where opposition parties have been gaining ground.
Observers will watch the campaigns closely to gauge voter sentiment ahead of the general elections.
