The 2026 Assam Assembly elections saw a historic voter turnout of 85.38%, surpassing the previous record of 82.04% in 2021. Atul Bora, President of the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), hailed this turnout as a testament to Assam's democratic values and expressed confidence that the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would achieve a significant victory, estimating around 90 seats for the coalition. The NDA's strategy included a seat-sharing arrangement where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contested 89 seats, AGP 26 seats, and the Bodoland People's Front (BPF) 11 seats. This high turnout has sparked debate among political analysts, with opposition leaders interpreting it as a call for change, while Bora attributes it to a pro-incumbency wave fueled by development initiatives. Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma characterized the election as a movement to protect the state's culture and identity, emphasizing the unprecedented participation levels. The results will be finalized on May 4, 2026.
