The development formally paves the way for the formation of the new NDA government in Assam after the alliance secured a decisive mandate in the Assembly elections.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has returned to power in Assam for a third consecutive term, securing 102 seats in the 126-member Assembly. The Bharatiya Janata Party won 82 seats, while its allies — the Asom Gana Parishad and the Bodoland People’s Front — secured 10 seats each.
