The union territory of Puducherry will have its assembly election for 4 districts capturing 30 seats in a single phase on April 6. The union territory recently witnessed the collapse of its government as the Congress-DMK alliance lost its majority in the assembly after five MLAs resigned and one was disqualified by the party last year under the anti-defection law. 

It is to be noted that in the 2016 Assembly elections, Congress-DMK alliance made a comfortable victory as Congress won 15 and DMK two seats against the eight, four and one seat won by NR Congress, AIADMK and BJP respectively.
