Who was in power in Assam?
BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is currently in power in Assam with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at the helm of affairs. While BJP is seeking a hat-trick, Sarma is seeking a second consecutive term. Before the BJP came to power in 2016, the Indian National Congress (INC) was the ruling party in Assam for 15 consecutive years. Congress' Tarun Gogoi (INC) was the Chief Minister from 2001 to 2016. The 2016 election saw a significant shift when the INC, under Gogoi, lost its majority to the BJP-led alliance, with Sarbananda Sonowal becoming the first BJP Chief Minister of the state.

Other key contenders in the fray include Congress state president Gaurav Gogoi and the Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia. Sarma is seeking a second term while BJP is eyeing a hat-trick in the state.
