What Happened
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Devashish Sharma is leading the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election vote count, which commenced on October 9, 2026. Sharma has established a significant lead, polling 6,23,918 votes against AIUDF chief Mohammed Badruddin Ajmal's 4,50,498 votes, a difference of 1,73,420 votes. Congress candidate Sibamoni Bora is in third place with 1,10,356 votes. The by-election took place on October 6, 2026, in the Nagaon constituency, which has approximately 19.05 lakh electors.
The by-election was necessitated by the resignation of Pradyut Bordoloi, the former Congress Member of Parliament for Nagaon, who subsequently joined the BJP. This bypoll is seen as an important indicator of the political landscape in Assam, reflecting the BJP's expanding influence and posing questions for the Congress party's future in the state.
