What's the story

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manik Saha is set to become the chief minister of Tripura again, as per the announcement made by the party following a meeting of newly-elected MLAs on Monday.

Saha and the new council of ministers will be sworn in on Wednesday.

PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP President JP Nadda will attend the event, too.

Context

Why does this story matter?

With this announcement, a brief suspense over the CM post ended in Tripura.

Notably, a day after the victory, CM Saha tendered his resignation to Governor Satyadeo Narain Arya but didn't stake a claim to form the next government.

Tripura, which has 60 Assembly seats, went to polls on February 16 and the results came out on Thursday. The BJP alone won 32 seats.

Prediction

Saha gets top post again given his performance

Prior to the elections, Saha had also predicted that the ruling coalition of the BJP and the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) would emerge victorious.

After the results, he also claimed that the BJP's performance in Tripura was on expected lines.
