Complete Sitai assembly election results from 1971 to 2026. Check all MLA winners, vote counts, winning margins, voter turnout and 2026 election updates for Sitai constituency in West Bengal.
Sitai assembly election results reflect one of the most politically diverse electoral histories in the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal. Sitai is a reserved Scheduled Caste (SC) assembly seat that falls under the Cooch Behar (SC) Lok Sabha constituency. Unlike neighbouring seats dominated by a single party for decades, Sitai has witnessed a fascinating churn — with the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB), Indian National Congress (INC), and All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) all winning the Sitai MLA seat at different points in time.
Dipak Sen Gupta of AIFB dominated the seat across four consecutive elections from 1977 to 1991. The 2021 Sitai election was a close AITC vs BJP contest, with Jagadish Chandra Barma Basunia retaining the seat. With the Sitai 2026 election scheduled for Phase 1 on 23 April 2026, the constituency is set for another high-stakes battle. Below is the complete Sitai election history with year-wise results, vote counts, winning margins, and voter turnout data.
