Majumdar, who is also the mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation, secured 25,380 votes, while Das could manage only 7,366 votes.

The by-election for Ramnagar assembly seat was held on April 19. This seat had become vacant after the death of sitting BJP MLA Surjit Dutta on December 28 last year.

Das, a former CPI(M) MLA, was the consensus candidate of the India Bloc.
