KOKRAJHAR, Feb 28: Ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, a seat-sharing agreement has reportedly been finalised between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), led by Hagrama Mohilary in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) region.
According to sources, the BPF will contest 11 of the 15 Assembly constituencies in the BTC area, leaving four seats for its ally BJP.

Among the 11 constituencies to be contested by the BPF is the 3 No Kokrajhar (ST) Assembly constituency. Senior BPF leader and former Cabinet minister Pramila Rani Brahma has expressed her keen interest in contesting again from the Kokrajhar (ST) LAC.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Brahma said she is ready to enter the electoral fray if the party grants her a ticket for the upcoming Assembly elections.
“I have never asked for a ticket. The people want me, the party wants me,” she said.
She further remarked that she was politically defeated in the last Assembly elections and added that the very person who defeated her is now asking her to contest again.
However, she stated that all decisions will be discussed within the party and that the final decision will depend on the party and its high command.
Meanwhile, when asked about reports that Sewli Mohilary, wife of Hagrama Mohilary, is also interested in contesting from the Kokrajhar seat this time, Brahma said she may contest and that contesting elections is not a crime.
“If she wishes to contest, the party and the people must agree. We cannot simply go and contest anywhere on our own,” she added.
It may be mentioned that earlier in the day, Brahma attended the 17th foundation day celebration of Bodoland University, held at the university complex in Kokrajhar.
