The Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Monday (May 4, 2026) swept the Assam Assembly elections, bagging 101 of the 126 seats to retain power for a third straight term. However, the elections also saw notable defeats for the sons of three former Chief Ministers, marking a significant shift in the State’s political landscape.
Among those defeated was Gaurav Gogoi, the State Congress president and sitting Member of Parliament.
