The Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) has announced its second list of candidates for the upcoming TTAADC elections, fielding nominees in 26 out of 28 seats. The move has intensified political activity in the state, especially across key tribal constituencies.
However, the announcement has reportedly created friction with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as IPFT released the list without prior consultation or seat-sharing discussions. This unexpected step has led to dissatisfaction within BJP ranks, raising questions over coordination between the alliance partners.
With all major parties preparing to contest aggressively—and alliances appearing uncertain—the latest development signals a possible shift in Tripura’s tribal political landscape ahead of the April 12 polls.
