Assam Election Results 2026 Live: Gaurav Gogoi Loses Jorhat; Himanta Biswa Sarma Set for Another Term
The counting of votes in the Assam Assembly elections has indicated a strong and decisive advantage for the ruling alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, as early trends suggest the party is heading towards another comfortable term in the state.
BJP in commanding position
According to the latest trends from the Election Commission of India, the BJP and its allies have taken a significant lead across constituencies, with reports showing the party ahead in a majority of seats and crossing key majority milestones during counting rounds.
The BJP-led alliance is benefiting from strong performances in key constituencies, including seats contested by top leadership figures, reinforcing its dominance in the state’s political landscape.
Congress remains distant second
The Indian National Congress is trailing far behind in comparison, managing leads in a much smaller number of seats. Despite efforts to mount a challenge under its state leadership, the party has struggled to match the ruling alliance’s organisational strength and voter reach.
