Kolkata: Governor R N Ravi has dissolved the West Bengal Legislative Assembly with effect from 7 May following the completion of its term, according to an official notification.

The current assembly was constituted in May 2021 after the All India Trinamool Congress, led by Mamata Banerjee, returned to power in the state for a third consecutive term.

The dissolution formally marks the end of the tenure of the outgoing assembly following the recently concluded two-phase elections in the state.

The notification regarding the dissolution was issued by the Department of Parliamentary Affairs.
