The BJP-led NDA secured a three-fourths majority in the 126-member Assembly, with only the BJP crossing the two-thirds mark. According to Election Commission data, the BJP won 81 seats and was leading in one, while its allies – the Bodoland People’s Front and the Asom Gana Parishad – won 10 seats each.
The Congress won 15 seats and was leading in four, while the All India United Democratic Front secured two seats and the All India Trinamool Congress won one.
In a major setback for the Congress, its leader Gaurav Gogoi lost the Jorhat constituency to BJP’s Hitendra Nath Goswami by 23,182 votes.
These elections marked the first time the BJP contested under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the party registered its highest ever tally in the state. In comparison, the BJP had won 60 seats in 2021, while the Congress had secured 26.
The result also marks the third consecutive victory of the BJP-led NDA in the Assam Assembly elections.
