The Congress party, led by Gaurav Gogoi, has mounted a strong challenge to reclaim the state. Assam recorded an impressive voter turnout of over 85% during its single-phase election held on April 9, one of the highest in recent years. Exit polls have largely predicted a comfortable majority for the BJP-led government, but early counting trends will be closely watched by both sides. Assembly Election Results 2026: When and Where To Watch Live Counting.

Actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), contesting its first assembly election, has added a fresh and unpredictable dimension to the Tamil Nadu political landscape.
