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.
