In the run-up to the elections, Tripura witnessed a high-voltage electoral campaign from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has allied with anti-Left tribal outfit - the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT). The CPM-led Left Front, on the other hand, banked upon the "credibility" of the four-time incumbent Chief Minister Manik Sarkar.
BJP's campaign in the state was led by party chief Amit Shah, along with the state-in-charge Sunil Deodhar. Six public meetings were also addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who bolstered the party's call in Tripura for 'Chalo Paltai' (Lets bring change).
While the BJP is contesting on 51 seats in Tripura, its ally IPFT is fighting on 9 seats. From the Left Front, the CPI(M) has fielded candidates in 56 seats, whereas, 1 each were allotted to the the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), and the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB).

At least two exit polls have predicted a victory for the BJP-IPFT in Tripura, ending the 25-year-old Left rule in the state. The Axis My-India survey and the NewsX poll predicted 44-50 and 35-45 seats for the BJP, respectively. On the other hand, the CPI(M) was expected to bag between 9-14 and 15-23 respectively.
