Assam will witness a fight between the incumbent BJP-led NDA government and Congress for the 126-seat assembly.

The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, will look to secure a third consecutive term, while the Congress aims to defeat the ruling party to return to power.

The Congress and AIUDF had formed a grand alliance along with the BPF and communist parties. The alliance fought against the BJP-led NDA and won 16 of 126 seats.

Voter turnout was as high as 86.2 per cent with over 2. 2 crore registered voters in 2021.

In the 2016 Assembly elections, the BJP put up a strong show and won 60 seats, and the Congress secured 26 seats. The AIDUF won 13 seats. The voter turnout for the 126 state assembly constituencies was high at 83.9 per cent. As many as 199,47, 690 voters exercised their franchise in these elections.

Assam politics is always so dynamic! It's good to see candidates being announced early. Hope the focus remains on development issues like infrastructure and employment, not just identity politics. 🤞

With such a high voter turnout last time, every vote will count. The BJP's performance under CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has been strong, but anti-incumbency is always a factor. This will be a close watch!

While the MLA is confident, I respectfully disagree that any win is 'certain' in democracy. Voters are smarter now and look at work done, not just familiar names. All parties need to earn their votes through action.

The key will be how the opposition consolidates its votes. The 2021 results show a fragmented opposition helped the NDA. If Congress-AIUDF alliance works better on the ground, we could see a different outcome. Jai Hind!
