The Statesman Kolkata
|April 19, 2025
The Assam Panchayat Elections 2025 are scheduled to be conducted in 2 phases across 27 districts
With the deadline for withdrawal of nominations ending on Thursday, the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has taken the lead in the upcoming Panchayat elections in Assam by securing a number of seats uncontested.
According to official figures received so far, the NDA has won 37 Zila Parishad seats (35 BJP and 2 AGP) and 288 Anchalik Panchayat seats (259 BJP and 29 AGP) unopposed.
The ruling coalition believes that this early lead reflects not only the popularity of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its regional ally, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), but also the continued trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and governance model.
