NEW DELHI: Dilip Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party won the Champdani constituency with 93,704 votes, defeating Trinamool Congress candidate Arindam Guin (Bubai) by a margin of 3,026 votes. Guin secured 90,678 votes. CPI(M)'s Chandranath Banerjee finished third with 14,368 votes, followed by Congress's Pritam Ghosh with 1,975 votes.
Ten candidates contested from Champdani in West Bengal's 2026 Assembly Election, along with NOTA.
Champdani (constituency no. 187) is an urban-dominated constituency in Hooghly district, part of the Sreerampur Lok Sabha segment. It covers the Champdani municipality, Baidyabati municipality, parts of Serampore municipality, and the Payarapur gram panchayat. The constituency is largely industrial in character, home to a significant working-class population historically aligned with trade union politics. The towns of Sheoraphuli and Baidyabati also fall within its jurisdiction.
In 2021, TMC's Arindam Guin, a former chairman of Baidyabati Municipality, defeated BJP's Dilip Singh by over 30,000 votes. Notably, the same Dilip Singh was once again the BJP nominee in 2026, setting up a direct rematch.
In 2016, the seat was won by Congress's Abdul Mannan (supported by the Left Front), who defeated a TMC candidate, making it one of the rare constituencies where the Left-Congress alliance triumphed. Mannan later became Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly. The TMC recaptured the seat emphatically in 2021, and Arindam Guin sought his second consecutive term against the same BJP rival.
