The council runs administration in five districts of western Assam.

The ruling United Peoples’ Party Liberal (UPPL) was leading on 8 seats and the BJP, which is in power in the state, was ahead on seven seats, the trends and results showed.

The opposition Congress failed to make any impact among voters and wasn't leading in any seat.
