The exit poll results for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections show a commanding lead for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with projections from three major pollsters indicating they could secure between 88 to 101 seats in the 126-member Assembly. Notably, the BJP, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is projected to win 72 to 78 seats, raising the possibility of forming a government without coalition partners. This marks a significant improvement from the 2021 elections, where the NDA won 75 seats. The opposition coalition, known as the INDIA bloc, is expected to secure between 22 to 33 seats, while the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) faces a potential near-decimation with projections of 0 to 3 seats. Voter turnout was historically high at 85.9%, indicating strong mobilization, although analysts suggest this could reflect both support for the incumbent and organized anti-incumbency. Key issues influencing voter sentiment include welfare for tea workers, land rights, and governance concerns like urban flooding in Guwahati. Sarma's leadership is characterized by a focus on nationalism, welfare populism, and infrastructure development, which have resonated with voters.
