In a significant political development, Assam's Chief Electoral Officer Anurag Goel has delivered the official assembly election results to Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya. This marks a pivotal moment as it paves the way for forming the new government in the northeastern state.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) clinched its third consecutive term with a decisive victory, capturing 82 seats in the state assembly. This win underscores the party's continued dominance in the region.
Parties from the opposition struggled to make a comparable impact, with the Congress securing 19 seats, and its ally Raijor Dal winning just two. The elections were conducted smoothly across all 126 constituencies, with the polling on April 9 and counting on May 4.
