The upcoming 2016 assembly election to Domkal will once again witness a direct contest between Congress and CPIM. Though currently held by CPIM, the party has not been able to regain the lost ground which it has been losing to Trinamool Congress since its ouster from power in 2011. However division of votes between the Congress and TMC will stand it good stead. BJP is still not a competitive force in the Domkal assembly seat despite its making considerable gains in the last general parliamentary elections in the state.
