The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has successfully retained power in Assam for a third consecutive term, winning 82 of the 126 seats in the state Assembly elections. Himanta Biswa Sarma, who played a pivotal role in the party's campaign, is a strong candidate to continue as chief minister. However, the party is also considering other prominent figures such as Ajanta Neog, Ranjeet Kumar Dass, and Biswajit Daimary for the position. Neog, a six-time winner from the Golaghat constituency, and Dass, a senior leader and former Assembly speaker, have both secured significant victories. The new government is expected to be sworn in on May 12, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi potentially attending the ceremony. Sarma has already submitted his resignation to Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, marking the transition to the new administration.
