2005 Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council election

The 2005 Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) election was a significant political event held on May 3, 2005, in the Indian state of Tripura. The election aimed to fill the 30 elected seats in the TTAADC, which was established under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution to ensure greater autonomy and self-governance for the indigenous tribal communities in the region. The election witnessed a high voter turnout, reflecting the political engagement of tribal voters, and was conducted amid concerns over security and political stability. The ruling Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), along with its allies, competed against the opposition, including the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The results played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape within Tripura's tribal areas.
