Presently, with the result of 2021 ADC election held at 6 April, Tipraland State Party, TSP conglomerate TIPRAHA has emerged as the majority with 18 seats along with its ally The Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra. This is the maiden win of the Tipraland State Party, TSP formed by Former TCS officer Chitta Ranjan Debbarma, in the ADC under a name TIPRAHA. The Chairman of TIPRA, Pradyot Bikram Manikya is to become the CEM of the newly elected Council. However, Purna Chandra Jamatia was chosen as the Chief Executive Member of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council for the first time.

In the 2005 elections to the TTAADC the Left Front won 24 seats out of the 28 elected seats and the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra four. The Left Front and INPT had contested within the framework of an electoral understanding.

The term of the previous council ended on 17 May 2020 and following the postponement of elections for a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, TTAADC is currently under Governor's rule until a new council can be elected. However, in the 2021 ADC election the Left Front has drawn blank failing to win a single seat.Tipra Motha Party (TMP) was formed in 2023 just one month before the state assembly elections of Tripura.

The TTAADC is set to be renamed the Tipra Territorial Council (TTC), as part of a general reorganization which will also expand the council's powers and increase the number of seats on it from 28 elected and 2 appointed to 44 elected and 6 appointed.
