<br />
==History==<br />
The INPT was formed as a merger of the [[Indigenous People's Front of Tripura]] and the [[Tripura Upajati Juba Samiti]] in 2002.<br />
<br />
The formation of the INPT was pushed through after pressure from the underground [[National Liberation Front of Tripura]], who wanted to unite all tribal nationalist forces in a single party. The INPT was commonly and wrongly perceived as the political wing of NLFT.<br />
<br />
==Prominent politicians==<br />
* [[Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl]], former militant chief of [[Tripura National Volunteers]]<br />
* Jagadish Debbarma, former Chairman of the TTAADC from 1990 to 1995<br />
<br />
==Past results==<br />
===TTAADC===<br />
As IPFT had a majority in the [[Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council]], INPT came to govern that institution until 2003.<br />
<br />
INPT suffered a serious setback in the summer of 2003, when a group of TTAAADC members under the leadership of Hiren Tripura broke away and formed the [[National Socialist Party of Tripura]]. One high-ranking INPT leader, Shyamcharan Tripura, took the side of the dissidents. NSPT were able to, with support from the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] (CPI(M)) members in TTAADC, to win a majority in the assembly and INPT formed the opposition.<br />
<br />
===Tripura State Legislative Assembly===<br />
In the state assembly elections in 2003 INPT was allied with the [[Indian National Congress]]. INPT launched 18 candidates and Congress 42. Six INPT candidates were elected, and in total the party received 189 186 votes. The elections were won by the [[Left Front (Tripura)|Left Front]]. After the 12th Assembly Election held in 2018, INPT has no representatives in the Tripura State Legislative Assembly.<br />
<br />
===Lok Sabha (Parliamentary elections)===<br />
Ahead of the [[Lok Sabha]] elections in 2004 INPT joined the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP)-led [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]]. INPT supported the [[Nationalist Trinamool Congress]] and BJP candidates in the election.<br />
