- Ambassa: 6 seats

5. Why Are the 77 Seats Called Unopposed?
A candidate may be declared elected unopposed when the nomination and withdrawal process leaves only one valid candidate for a particular seat. In such a situation, there is no competing candidate for that seat and polling is not required, subject to the applicable election rules and formal declaration by the Returning Officer.
The 77-seat figure relates to the outcome after the nomination withdrawal process ended on 10 November 2026. It does not mean that the entire Tripura municipal election has concluded. Polling is still scheduled for the remaining 268 seats.
6. Candidate Names and Ward Numbers – Official Verification
