The campaign for the Assam Assembly elections, taking place on April 9, 2026, concluded on April 7, 2026, characterized by intense rhetoric and personal attacks. With 2.51 crore voters eligible to vote, 722 candidates, including 59 women, are vying for seats in the 126-member Assembly. The opposition saw vibrant campaigns led by women candidates like Bidisha Neog and Mira Borthakur Goswami from the Congress party, and Kunki Chowdhury from the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), particularly in constituencies around Guwahati. The Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, engaged in a fierce verbal battle with State Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, urging voters to choose the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for a brighter future. The upcoming elections are expected to be competitive, contrasting with previous one-sided elections, as the BJP-led NDA faces off against the Congress-led Asom Sonmiloto Morcha (ASM). Neutral parties like the All India United Democratic Front and the United People’s Party Liberal may also influence the election outcome.
