Background

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), along with its allies, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the Bodoland People's Front (BPF) contested the election to the Assam Legislative Assembly and won 102 seats, with the BJP itself winning 82 seats, the AGP 10 seats and the BPF 10 seats. The opposition led by the Indian National Congress (INC) won 19 seats.

On 10 May 2026, BJP observers – Union Minister and former BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini held meetings with the newly elected BJP legislators and those from the alliance parties, and unanimously re-elected Himanta Biswa Sarma as the leader of the BJP and NDA legislative party and hence the chief minister. The same day, Sarma, along with the two observers and several other leaders, met Governor Lakshman Acharya and staked claim to form the government.
