Wazed Ali Choudhury, a senior Congress leader, has built a long-standing political base in Assam's Birsing Jarua constituency. A businessman by background, he has represented the Salmara South constituency across multiple terms and remains closely associated with local governance issues.
Choudhury began his political journey in the mid-1990s with the Congress, entering the Assam Legislative Assembly from Salmara South in 1996. He held independent charge as a Minister, overseeing portfolios such as minority affairs and char area development.
With a legislative career spanning over two decades, Choudhury has served four terms as a Member of the Legislative Assembly. He made a strong comeback in 2016, reclaiming Salmara South by defeating Abdur Rahman Ajmal with a margin of 25,954 votes.
