The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Raijor Dal have announced key changes to their candidate lists for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections. The TMC released a list of 23 candidates covering constituencies across lower, central, and upper Assam, as well as the Barak Valley.
The party has fielded nominees from various regions, including Udangsri Narzary from Baokhungri, Mominur Islam from Bilasipara, and Arif Akhtar Ahmed from Jaleswar. In the Kamrup region, Bhoglal Rabha has been named from Boko-Chaygaon (ST), while Avijit Mazumdar will contest from Guwahati Central.
Raijor Dal announced its revised and final list of candidates after entering into an opposition alliance in the state and agreeing to a seat-sharing arrangement. The list includes party president Akhil Gogoi, who has been renominated from Sibsagar, and Congress MLA Abdur Rashid Mandal, who recently joined Raijor Dal, from East Goalpara.
The announcements come amid ongoing seat-sharing negotiations and candidate adjustments among opposition parties ahead of the Assembly polls. Assam will go to polls on April 9, and the last date for filing nominations is March 23.
