The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) is an autonomous district council administering the Tiprasa-dominated areas of the state of Tripura, India. Its council and assembly are situated in Khumulwng, a town 26 km away from Agartala, the state capital.
Presently, with the result of 2021 ADC election held at 6 April, Tipraland State Party[1] has emerged as the majority with 18 seats along with its ally The Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra. This is the maiden win of the Tipraland State Party which was formed by former Tripura Civil Services Officer & Presently Member Tripura State Legislative Assembly Chitta Ranjan Debbarma from Ambassa (ST) Assembly Constituency. The Chairman of Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance, Pradyot Bikram Manikya[2] is to become the CEM[3] of the newly elected Council. However, Purna Chandra Jamatia was chosen as the Chief Executive Member of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council for the first time.[4]
In the 2005 elections to the TTAADC the Left Front won 24 seats out of the 28 elected seats and the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra four. The Left Front and INPT had contested within the framework of an electoral understanding.[5]
The term of the previous council ended on 17 May 2020 and following the postponement of elections for a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, TTAADC is currently under Governor's rule until a new council can be elected.[6][7] However, in the 2021 ADC election the Left Front has drawn blank failing to win a single seat.Tipra Motha Party (TMP) was formed in 2023 just one month before the state assembly elections of Tripura. Ref. Election commission of India.
The TTAADC is set to be renamed the Tipra Territorial Council (TTC), as part of a general reorganization which will also expand the council's powers and increase the number of seats on it from 28 elected and 2 appointed to 44 elected and 6 appointed.[8][9]
