In the Anchalik Panchayat segments, the BJP secured 78 out of 88 seats, with Congress winning 6, AGP taking 2, and 2 seats going to Independents.
A notable development was seen in Naduar, where all but one ward were won unopposed, indicating overwhelming support or strategic withdrawals.
For the first time in decades, the Bhomoraguri ZPC seat, traditionally a Congress stronghold, was captured by the AGP, marking a significant political shift.
Expressing his gratitude, Tezpur MLA Prithiraj Rabha thanked the electorate for the strong mandate and emphasized that the people have reposed their faith in the development-oriented vision of the BJP-AGP alliance.
“The people of Tezpur and Sonitpur have shown that development is their priority. Their overwhelming support reflects their confidence in our ability to deliver on that promise. The historic win in Bhomoraguri is a clear signal that change is underway, and we are confident of a strong performance in the 2026 Assembly polls,” Rabha said.
Most of the 880 Gram Panchayat ward seats were also captured by candidates supported by the ruling alliance, further cementing their grassroots hold in the district.
