The Jorhat Assembly constituency in Assam has become the primary battleground for a high-stakes political contest between Himanta Biswa Sarma's BJP and Gaurav Gogoi ahead of the 2026 elections.

An explosion in Jorhat, Assam, has killed two people and injured two others, with the incident occurring ahead of upcoming assembly elections.

Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi is reportedly set to contest the upcoming Assam assembly elections from the Jorhat constituency. This move follows the party's finalization of candidates for 40 seats.

Gaurav Gogoi, the APCC chief and Jorhat MP, is spearheading the Congress party's efforts to make a comeback in the Assam Assembly polls, positioning himself as a chief ministerial candidate against the incumbent CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Gaurav Gogoi is maintaining a strong position in a closely contested election battle in Jorhat, Assam, against a veteran BJP candidate, with the campaign framed as an 'election to save Assam'.

Raijor Dal chief Akhil Gogoi has indicated that his party will not field a candidate against Gaurav Gogoi, suggesting the State Congress president needs their support to win the Jorhat Assembly seat.
