The party announced 42 candidates in its initial list, signalling the beginning of its campaign strategy for the crucial electoral battle in the 126-member Assam Legislative Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement, Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia congratulated the selected candidates and expressed confidence in their ability to serve the people of Assam with dedication and integrity.<\/p>\n<h3>Debabrata Saikia Extends Congratulations<\/h3>\n<p>In a message shared on Facebook, Debabrata Saikia extended heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all party candidates who secured nominations for the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>Saikia said he firmly believes that the candidates will work with commitment and dedication while upholding the trust and faith of the people.<\/p>\n<p>In his message, he emphasised that the nominees should remain inspired by the ideology of the Congress party and dedicate themselves to serving the public. He also expressed hope that their collective efforts would contribute to building a strong and prosperous Assam.<\/p>\n<p>Ending his message with the slogan \u201cJai Aai Axom,\u201d Saikia wished success to all candidates in the electoral journey ahead.<\/p>\n<h3>Congress Releases First List of 42 Candidates<\/h3>\n<p>The first list of candidates for the 2026 Assembly elections was approved by the Central Election Committee of the Congress and formally released by AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes several prominent leaders and experienced politicians, indicating the party\u2019s strategy to field seasoned figures in key constituencies across the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Among the major names announced:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gaurav Gogoi, President of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), will contest from Jorhat (100). His candidature signals the party\u2019s intention to place him at the forefront of the election campaign across the state.<\/li>\n<li>Debabrata Saikia, Leader of the Opposition in the Assam Assembly, has been nominated from Nazira (97), a seat he currently represents.<\/li>\n<li>Senior Congress leader Ripun Bora, former APCC president and ex-Rajya Sabha MP, will contest from Barchalla (66).<\/li>\n<li>In the politically significant Dispur (33) constituency, the party has nominated Mira Borthakur Goswami, who has previously contested elections from the Guwahati region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Key Contests Expected in Several Constituencies<\/h3>\n<p>The first list has already sparked political discussions in several constituencies, especially in Upper Assam.<\/p>\n<p>One of the constituencies likely to witness a closely watched contest is Bihpuria (73), where the Congress has fielded Narayan Bhuyan. The seat could become a high-profile battleground if the BJP nominates Bhupen Bora, the former APCC chief who recently joined the BJP.<\/p>\n<p>Political observers believe the outcome in Bihpuria may attract statewide attention given the shifting political alignments in the region.<\/p>\n<h3>Representation Across Regions<\/h3>\n<p>The candidate list reflects representation from multiple regions of Assam, including Lower Assam, Upper Assam, Central Assam, Barak Valley and Hill districts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some other notable candidates include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Girish Baruah \u2013 Bongaigaon<\/li>\n<li>Mahananda Sarkar \u2013 Barpeta (SC)<\/li>\n<li>Ramen Singh Rabha \u2013 Boko-Chaygaon (ST)<\/li>\n<li>Diganta Barman \u2013 Barkhetri<\/li>\n<li>Ashok Kumar Sarma \u2013 Nalbari<\/li>\n<li>Binanda Kumar Saikia \u2013 Sipajhar<\/li>\n<li>Utpal Bania \u2013 Raha (SC)<\/li>\n<li>Swapank Kar \u2013 Lumding<\/li>\n<li>Durga Bhumij \u2013 Doomdooma<\/li>\n<li>Prateek Bordoloi \u2013 Margherita<\/li>\n<li>Dhruba Gogoi \u2013 Duliajan<\/li>\n<li>Utpal Gogoi \u2013 Sonari<\/li>\n<li>Ajay Kumar Gogoi \u2013 Demow<\/li>\n<li>Indraneel Pegu \u2013 Majuli (ST)<\/li>\n<li>Bitupan Saikia \u2013 Golaghat<\/li>\n<li>Abhijit Paul \u2013 Silchar<\/li>\n<li>Aminul Haque Laskar \u2013 Sonai<\/li>\n<li>Jakaria Ahmed \u2013 Karimganj North<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1243\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1-659x1024.jpg 659w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1-768x1193.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-1-585x909.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"940\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-2-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-2-768x902.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assamtalks.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Assam-Congress-Candidates-2026-2-585x687.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The list also includes candidates from several reserved constituencies, including Jagiroad (SC), Raha (SC), Barpeta (SC), Majuli (ST), Jonai (ST), Bokajan (ST), Rongkhang (ST) and others.<\/p>\n<h3>Alliance Talks Continue<\/h3>\n<p>The announcement of the candidate list comes at a time when the Congress is engaged in negotiations with potential ally Raijor Dal regarding seat-sharing arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that discussions are currently focused on resolving differences over a particular constituency.
