Assam: Congress released the final list of 7 candidates, will contest elections on this many seats

Congress has announced its fifth and final list of candidates for the Assam Assembly elections, naming seven candidates and declaring a total of 101 candidates for the 126 seats in the state.

In preparation for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, Congress has unveiled its fifth and final list of candidates, which includes names for seven constituencies. This announcement marks a significant step as the party has now declared a total of 101 candidates out of the 126 available seats in the state. The selection of these candidates was approved by the Central Election Committee, signaling the party's strategy and commitment towards the elections. Among the selected candidates are notable figures like Joseph Hasda from Gosai Gaon, Birukang Boro from Dotma (ST), and Amar Chand Jain from Katigorah. The party's organizational general secretary, K.C. Venugopal, confirmed the decision, indicating a structured approach by Congress to solidify its presence in Assam. The announcement came shortly after the fourth list was issued, which had prompted some internal changes, including the replacement of an incumbent MLA and the allocation of several seats to ally party Raijor Dal. This political maneuvering by Congress is pivotal as the party seeks to regain its influence in Assam amidst a challenging political landscape. With fewer than a hundred seats left to fill, and alliances forming among various parties, the impending elections are expected to be fiercely contested as parties strategize to secure the trust of the electorate.
