Only 43 Muslim MLAs have won so far out of 292 seats (elections in 2 seats are still left) against 59 in 2016 and 2011.
Out of these 43 candidates, 42 won from the TMC. This is highest from a single party.

Interestingly, TMC had given tickets to 46 Muslims, 42 of whom have won while elections at two seats - Samserganj and Jangipur - are left. The strike of TMC that way has been phenomenal. Likely wins in these two seats can take the total number to 45.

In 2011, only 32 Muslim MLAs from TMC had won.
Besides TMC, the lone Muslim MLA will be from Indian Secular Front from Bhangar. That brings the total number to 43.
There is no Muslim MLA from BJP, of course. The Left and Congress have drawn a blank this time.
