Dibrugarh, an urban constituency in Upper Assam, is witnessing a significant electoral battle in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, with Prasanta Phukan of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) running for re-election against Mainak Patra of the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP). The constituency, known for its commercial and industrial activities, has a voter base of about 1.5 lakh and a literacy rate of 76%. Key issues affecting voters include urban challenges such as traffic congestion and flooding from the Brahmaputra River, alongside economic concerns particularly in the tea sector. Phukan has held the seat since 2006, reflecting the BJP's stronghold in the area, with his previous win in 2021 securing him around 60% of the vote share. Exit polls suggest a favorable outcome for the BJP statewide, indicating a potential consolidation of power. However, local issues may influence voter sentiment as the election results are awaited, with a turnout of 70.07% in Dibrugarh, slightly below the state average.
