In Guwahati, leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) met with Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya to formally claim the formation of the new government, led by Chief Minister-elect Himanta Biswa Sarma. This marks the third successive NDA government in Assam, with the BJP first coming to power in 2016 under former Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. Sarma, who previously assumed office in 2021, is poised to make history as the only non-Congress Chief Minister to serve two consecutive terms. The NDA coalition, which includes the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the Bodoland People's Front (BPF), has achieved a significant electoral victory, securing a two-thirds majority with 102 seats in the 126-member assembly.
