2014 Tripura local elections
The 2014 Tripura local elections were conducted in two phases on June 14 and June 29, 2014, to elect representatives for the 6,111 seats across various local bodies in Tripura, India. This election involved the Panchayati Raj institutions, specifically the Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis, and Zilla Parishads, as well as Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The elections were significant as they reflected the political landscape of Tripura, dominated by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), which had been in power for over two decades. The BJP and other regional parties contested vigorously, aiming to challenge the established dominance. The results underscored the CPI(M)'s continued influence despite emerging political challenges. Congress, once a significant player, faced a decline in its presence.
