The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is clearly set to retain Assam with a resounding victory, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma slated for a second term. The BJP-led NDA is leading in almost 100 seats, with the BJP leading in 78 seats, Bodoland People's Front (BPF) leading in 10, and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) leading in 9 seats as of 12:30 pm. The BJP fielded 90 candidates, while AGP and BPF had 26 and 11 nominees, respectively. The election outcome validates most exit polls, which had projected a clear return of the BJP-led government under CM Sarma. The BJP's victory is attributed to a mix of Hindutva politics and welfare schemes, including the Orunodoi cash transfer scheme and Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan (MMUA) aimed at empowering women. The government has transferred over ₹8,000 crore to beneficiaries under these schemes since September 2025.
