Overview

• The BJP-led NDA won 300 of 397 Zila Parishad seats and 1,436 of 2,192 Anchalik Panchayat seats statewide, solidifying its rural dominance.
• The alliance achieved notable breakthroughs in minority-dominated constituencies, with BJP candidates winning in areas with up to 100% minority populations.
• Opposition Congress retained pockets of influence, particularly in Dhubri district, while independents emerged as kingmakers in Hailakandi's hung Zila Parishad board.
• Raijor Dal, contesting its first Panchayat elections, performed poorly, securing only three Zila Parishad seats and 19 Anchalik Panchayat posts across the state.
• These results, following the BJP's strong showing in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, set the stage for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections.
