Indian National Congress (INC) leader Wazed Ali Choudhury is contesting the 2026 Assam Assembly elections from the newly formed Birsing Jarua constituency.
A veteran of Dhubri district politics, Choudhury is one of the party's most enduring faces in the Brahmaputra valley's minority-dominated belt.
He has framed this election as a mission to secure the rights of 'Char Area' residents and challenge the AIUDF's influence in the region.
Choudhury has highlighted his past ministerial experience, promising to prioritize erosion control and scientific agricultural support for the flood-prone Birsing Jarua region.
He has a long history of representing the Salmara South seat, having won in 1996, 2001, 2016, and 2021.
Polling in Birsing Jarua concluded on April 9, 2026, with a high voter turnout of 87.2%, which Choudhury's camp has described as a 'clear mandate for stability and experience.'
