Puducherry, May 2: The AINRC-led NDA looked all set to capture power in Puducherry by winning 13 assembly seats and leading in two when the results for 22 out of the total 30 segments were declared on Sunday.
The Congress-led front emerged victorious in five constituencies and the independents in four as the counting for votes polled in the April 6 elections, was still underway.
According to the Election Commission, the AINRC secured 10, BJP three, DMK three, Congress two and the independents four.
AINRC Chief and former Chief Minister N Rangasamy triumphed in Thattanchavady constituency and wrested the seat from DMK. Rangasamy aspired for annexing two segments- Thattanchavady and Yanam- in the April 6 polls.
However, his move to get elected from Yanam seemed to be a far cry to him as the Independent candidate Gollapalli Srinivas Ashok backed by the Congress turned out to be a formidable rival. (PTI)
