Earlier this month, Assam Chief Minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma voiced his confidence in the BJP-led NDA’s win in the 2026 assembly elections in the state.
The Chief Minister said, “BJP and its ally parties have targeted to win 90-100 assembly seats in the 2026 assembly election in the state.”
Bharatiya Janata Party had contested elections on 11 Lok Sabha constituencies and won nine seats while its ally party Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) contested two seats and won one seat and the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) contested one and won the seat. Out of the total 14 Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam the Congress-led INDIA bloc won three seats in the state.
The number of constituencies of the Assam Legislative Assembly is 126.
