The CPI(M) has intensified its preparations for the upcoming Dharmanagar Municipal Council elections, filing nomination papers in a total of 22 seats so far. After submitting nominations in 19 seats in the first phase, the party filed papers in three more wards on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The latest candidates include Jamuna Mahishya Das from Ward No. 10, Abhijit Biswas from Ward No. 4 and Ayesha Begum from Ward No. 23.

With these additional nominations, the CPI(M) has now completed its candidature process in 22 seats. However, the party has indicated that candidates for the remaining seats will be finalised through discussions with the Congress.

CPI(M) State Secretariat member Amitabha Dutta said the party intends to field candidates in the remaining seats as well, but the final decision regarding nominations will be taken after consultations with the Congress party.

Addressing the people of Dharmanagar, Dutta appealed to residents, irrespective of their political affiliations, to extend their support to CPI(M) candidates. He stated that the upcoming municipal election is particularly important for restoring democracy, protecting the Constitution and ensuring the overall development of Dharmanagar.

He also called for active public participation and support in the electoral process, emphasising the importance of the municipal election in determining the future course of development in the town.

Meanwhile, political attention in Dharmanagar is focused on how the proposed seat-sharing discussions between the CPI(M) and Congress will progress and what arrangement the two parties eventually reach for the remaining seats.
