Pravat Chowdhury (born 28 December 1976) is an Indian politician and member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Chowdhury is a member of the Tripura Legislative Assembly from the Manu (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in South Tripura district since 2014.[2] [3] [4] [5] Chowdhury was elected in a 2014 bye-election to this seat, after the previous incumbent, Jitendra Choudhury, resigned to take his Lok Sabha seat for Tripura East after winning in 2014. Pravat Chowdhury won the bye-election by a landslide, leading by a record margin of nearly 16,000 votes.[6] Chowdhury won reelection to a full term during the 2018 Tripura Legislative Assembly election, but this time by a much smaller margin. His victory by 193 votes, or 0.48%, against Dhananjoy Tripura of the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura was the closest contest in the state.
