Congress allocates 11 Assam seats to Raijor Dal
Change
Congress and Raijor Dal finalised a seat-sharing agreement that allocates 11 Assam Assembly constituencies to Raijor Dal.
Why it matters
The seat-sharing agreement allocates 11 Assam Assembly constituencies to Raijor Dal and records two constituencies as friendly contests. Party leaders signed the agreement on March 19, 2026, in Jorhat. Akhil Gogoi is designated as the Raijor Dal candidate for Sivasagar. The Margherita constituency was allocated to Raijor Dal.
Implications
- · Raijor Dal to field candidates in the 11 allocated constituencies, including Margherita.
- · Congress to refrain from fielding candidates in those 11 constituencies under the agreement.
- · Akhil Gogoi is designated as the candidate for Sivasagar, altering the candidate list for that constituency.
- · Two constituencies are designated as friendly contests rather than direct contests between the two parties.
Who is affected
- · State party leaders and election strategists
- · Candidates and nomination committees
- · Campaign managers and local organizers
- · Election coordinators
What to watch
- · Agreement signed March 19, 2026
