Legislative Assembly elections are expected to be held in Assam in March–April 2026 to elect 126 members of the Assam Legislative Assembly.[1][2]
Background
[edit | edit source]The tenure of Assam Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 20 May 2026.[3] The previous assembly elections were held in March–April 2021. After the election, the incumbent National Democratic Alliance formed the state government again after winning 75 out of 126 seats in the assembly, with Himanta Biswa Sarma becoming Chief Minister.[4][5]
In August 2021, Indian National Congress ended its alliance with All India United Democratic Front and Bodoland People's Front, effectively ending the Mahajot alliance.[6][7]
