Agartala, Nov. 8 -- The ruling BJP and its allies are expected to secure 65 uncontested seats across five municipal bodies and Nagar Panchayats in Tripura ahead of the urban local body elections scheduled for Nov 27.

BJP State President Abhishek Debroy said opposition parties had failed to nominate candidates in these areas, effectively ensuring victories for BJP and NDA nominees. As a result, elections will now be held for 345 seats across 21 municipal and urban local bodies in the state.

He said BJP candidates had won 65 seats across the five civic bodies of Mohanpur, Jirania, Ranirbazar, Shantirbazar, and Kamalpur.
