The Barjala seat fell vacant after Congress legislator Jitendra Sarkar resigned on June 6 following an internal feud within the party while the Khowai seat has been vacant since the death of veteran CPI-M legislator Samir Deb Sarkar.

Candidates of the Congress, the erstwhile main opposition party in Tripura, came fourth in both places.

The election was held on Saturday and over 91% of the 78,400 electorate voted.

A large number of leaders and party workers led by six legislators of the Congress in Tripura joined the TMC in June, reducing the Congress strength in the Tripura assembly to three from 10.
