The Assam Assembly Election 2026 Exit Polls display their estimated results. Multiple surveys have declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party will win the elections in Assam. Polling organizations such as Axis My India and Matrize plus other organizations have indicated that the BJP will achieve more than 80 seats in the 126-member Assembly. The current situation will lead Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to win his second term in office.
According to most exit polls the Indian National Congress will win approximately 25 to 35 seats in the upcoming elections. The voter turnout in Assam reached higher levels this year than during the 2021 Assembly elections which recorded 82.04% voting.
The Bharatiya Janata Party currently holds most constituencies according to early trends and exit polls which show the Indian National Congress as their main opponent.
The BJP is expected to win over 80 seats while Congress may secure around 25 to 35 seats. Other regional parties like Asom Gana Parishad are likely to win a few seats. (Final numbers will be updated after counting ends.)
Current trends show that Himanta Biswa Sarma is winning his constituency based on early reports and exit polls.
The Assam Assembly requires 64 seats to reach its majority threshold which consists of 126 members. Any party or alliance crossing this number can form the government.
The exit poll predictions indicate BJP will win the elections again with Himanta Biswa Sarma serving his second term as Chief Minister.
According to early trends, the BJP leads in 68 seats in Assam, crossing the majority mark of 64.
LoP and Congress candidate from Nazira assembly, Debabrata Saikia says, “I hope the government will change. As the BJP had said, if they come to power, there will be good days in Assam. And since 2014, they have been taking votes from the people of Assam, promising them good days. But there are no good days. The days of the Assamese people have become even worse now. Assamese identity, Assamese culture, Assamese language are under threat… I think the people will give the opposition a chance to serve them.”
Jalebis are being prepared at the BJP Headquarters in Delhi as counting of votes for the elections to the Assemblies of Assam, Keralam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Puducherry begins. Counting of votes for by-polls in seven Assembly constituencies of five states is also being done today.
According to the Axis My India exit poll, the BJP-led NDA is likely to win big, securing around 88 to 100 seats. The Congress-led alliance is expected to fall behind with about 24 to 36 seats. The BJP alone may emerge as the largest party, winning roughly 70 to 80 seats.
