NEW DELHI: Subir Nag of the Bharatiya Janata Party won the Chunchura constituency with 1,37,704 votes, defeating Trinamool Congress candidate Debangshu Bhattacharya by a margin of 43,435 votes. Bhattacharya secured 94,269 votes. All India Forward Bloc's Sunil Kumar Saha finished third with 14,226 votes, followed by Congress's Mainul Haque with 2,411 votes.
Eleven candidates contested from Chunchura in West Bengal's 2026 Assembly Election, along with NOTA.
Chunchura (constituency no. 190), also rendered as Chinsurah, serves as the district headquarters of Hooghly and is part of the Hooghly Lok Sabha constituency. The constituency is among the largest in the district by electorate size, with over three lakh registered voters. It is a predominantly urban seat with a strong trading and administrative presence, given its role as the district's administrative centre.
In 2021, TMC's Asit Mazumder (Tapan) retained the seat, defeating BJP's Locket Chatterjee, then the sitting Hooghly MP, by over 18,000 votes. In 2016, Asit Mazumder also won, with the All India Forward Bloc providing the second-place challenge.
The 2026 contest saw TMC replace the incumbent Asit Mazumder with Debangshu Bhattacharya, a young and vocal party spokesperson.
