The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a historic win in Assam after winning in 82 of the 90 seats it contested in.

The BJP swept almost all of the seats in Upper Assam where the party secured wins in 33 of the 35 seats with just one each being bagged by Congress and its ally Raijor Dal.

The same trend continued in central Assam and the three hill districts where BJP along with its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) bagged almost all seats ceding just three seats, two to All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and one by Raijor Dal.

The BJP managed to secure some wins in Lower Assam and Barak Valley as well along with its ally Bodoland Peoples Front, which bagged 10 seats in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) region.

On the other hand, the Congress failed to make inroads this time with several key candidates losing their own seats.

BJP secured over 37.81% of the total votes, which is around 5% more than 2021.
