Voters had sealed the fate of 722 candidates across 126 constituencies on April 9. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has led the Bharatiya Janata Party to a third consecutive term, with the NDA securing 102 seats in the 126-member Assembly. Within the alliance, the BJP emerged as the dominant force with 82 seats, while its allies — Asom Gana Parishad and Bodoland Peoples Front — secured 10 seats each. The opposition trailed significantly, with the Congress-led bloc managing 21 seats. The Indian National Congress won 19 seats, while Raijor Dal secured 2.

Assam minister and BPF leader Charan Boro retained the Mazbat seat with a margin of over 55,000 votes. The result marked his third assembly victory and underlined his position as the BPF's lone outgoing minister.

The Trinamool Congress has won the Mandia seat in Assam. MLA Sherman Ali Ahmed defeated his opponents from the BJP, Congress and AIUDF. Ahmed's win gives a symbolic weight for Mamata Banerjee's TMC outside West Bengal and reflects Ahmed's local clout and hold on his seat.
