N Rangasamy makes history as he takes charge of Puducherry for the fifth time, supported by the AINRC-led NDA in a resounding electoral victory. The coalition, which includes BJP, AIADMK, and LJK, garnered 18 seats, surpassing the required 16-seat majority in the 30-member assembly.
The Congress suffered a major setback, winning only one of the 16 seats it contested. The defeat of PCC leader Ve Vaithilingam by Rangasamy in Thattanchavady highlights the shifting political dynamics in the region.
The new assembly features a blend of veteran politicians and newcomers, embodying a diverse future for Puducherry as it navigates the political landscape under Rangasamy's leadership once more.
