As of May 4, 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies have secured a historic victory in the Assam Assembly elections, marking the first time a non-Congress government has achieved three consecutive terms in the state’s history. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the “hat-trick” as a result of the blessings of Maa Kamakhya and a clear mandate for the “double-engine” governance and peace initiatives led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The BJP-led coalition maintained a decisive lead throughout the counting process, particularly in Upper Assam and the Barak Valley, effectively neutralizing the challenge posed by the Congress-led ‘Mahajot’.
The election saw a historic voter turnout, which analysts view as a validation of the administration’s focus on infrastructure development and cultural preservation over the last decade. Nearly 8,500 personnel managed the transparent counting process across the 126-member assembly to ensure a smooth final tally. This decisive win not only solidifies the BJP’s dominance in Northeast India but also serves as a significant milestone in the region’s political landscape as the party prepares to form the next government.
