Kolkata/IBNS: After a thumping win in the West Bengal Assembly election, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has extended its contract with election strategists Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) to 2026, however, sans Prashant Kishore, media reports quoting sources said.

The successful partnership saw Mamata Banerjee sweep the April-May Assembly polls and return as Chief Minister of Bengal for a third straight term.

However, this version of I-PAC will not be led in day-to-day operations by chief strategist Prashant Kishor, who had earlier told the media that he is quitting the organisation.

It will be now interesting to see how well I-PAC and its new nine-member leadership team can perform without Kishor.

According to the new contract, I-PAC will be involved in all state elections - panchayat and the local body.

The contract extension will run till the next round of Assembly elections in Bengal, by which time key states, including UP, Gujarat and Karnataka, and the country would have also held elections, NDTV reported.
