Badruddin Ajmal, the President of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), is contesting from the Binnakandi constituency in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections 2026.
Ajmal, a prominent political leader from Assam, has played a pivotal role in shaping state and national politics, especially when it comes to minorities.
However, he is facing a difficult period in his political career after being defeated in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Dhubri, losing to Congress candidate Rakibul Hussain by a margin of more than 10 lakhs.
Ajmal has been a strong critic of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), calling it discriminatory and a threat to Assam's social balance.
The AIUDF, led by Ajmal, faced a major setback in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, failing to win any seats in Assam, and is now planning to contest the 2026 Assembly elections independently in an attempt to rebuild its presence.
