In a significant political development, Assam   president Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday announced that eight opposition parties have decided to jointly contest the 2026 Assam Assembly elections to defeat the ruling BJP-led alliance.

Addressing reporters after a meeting of opposition leaders, Gogoi said, “We had a threadbare discussion on various topics. To free the people of Assam from the BJP’s torture and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s injustice, we all are united. We will contest the 2026 assembly elections together. This was the main decision of today’s meeting.”

The eight parties that have come together include the Congress, CPI(M), Raijor Dal, Assam Jatiya Parishad, CPI, CPI(ML), Jatiya Dal-Asom (JDA), and the All Party Hill Leaders Conference based in Karbi Anglong.

The Assam Assembly elections are likely to be held in March–April
