Assam-NE States Lok Sabha Election Leading Candidate List 2024: The Election Commission of India has declared the people's verdict. In Assam the main poll fight was between Congress and BJP but there were some regional players also, that tried their electoral luck. AJP, AGP, AIUDF and AAP were in the fray. They also made alliance with Congress and BJP.
Assam voted in three phases for the Lok Sabha elections. Altogether 81.56 per cent of the 2.45 crore voters of 14 constituencies registered their franchise in the total three phases of the Lok Sabha elections in Assam. In the first phase of polls held on April 19, 78.25 per cent of the voters exercised their franchise to decide the political fate of 35 candidates for the Kaziranga, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Sonitpur and Lakhimpur constituencies. In the second phase on April 26, 81.17 per cent of the electorate cast their votes to choose their representative for Karimganj, Silchar(SC), Diphu (ST), Nagaon and Darrang-Udalguri from among 61 candidates. The turnout was 85.45 per cent in the third and final phase on May 7 when voters of Dhubri, Barpeta, Kokrajhar (ST) and Guwahati seats exercised their franchise. There were 47 candidates in this phase.
As far as other Northeast states are concerned, the Bharatiya Janata Party is hoping for repeat of the success story it achieved in the last two Lok Sabha elections under Narendra Modi's leadership in the region. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa, a key strategist for the BJP, has been instrumental in building electoral ground in the region for the party which was earlier seen as Congress and its allies' stronghold. The entire Northeast region, including Sikkim, sends 25 members to Parliament. The seven sisters states (northeastern states) – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura, and Sikkim - voted in three phases on April 19, 26, and May 7.
