Puducherry Election Results: NDA Wins 16 Seats, Set to Form Govt

In Yanam, Independent candidate Gollapalli Srinivas Ashok scored a narrow victory over AINRC’s N Rangasamy.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) crossed the halfway mark in the 30-seat Puducherry Assembly on Sunday, 2 May, by winning 16 seats, and looks all set to form the government.

Meanwhile, the Congress-DMK-led alliance fell behind with nine seats.

Under NDA, while the All India NR Congress won 10 seats, the BJP won six. The AIADMK, which is also part of the alliance, drew a blank.

The DMK and the Congress, on the other hand, won six and two seats respectively, with one going to an Independent supporting the alliance, and the remaining five going to Others.
