Nagaon LS Bypoll: Campaigning Ends, BJP Confident of Wresting Congress Seat
About 19.07 lakh voters will choose among 15 candidates as the BJP, Congress and AIUDF compete in a likely three-cornered race.
- On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the campaign for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election in Assam ended at 5 p.m., 48 hours before polling begins on October 6 with 15 candidates competing.
- Pradyut Bordoloi's departure from Congress to join the Bharatiya Janata Party before April 2026 triggered this by-election, setting up a three-cornered contest between Devasish Sharma, Sibamoni Bora, and Badruddin Ajmal.

- During the final campaign days, Sharma filed a police case against Ajmal for accusing him of murdering Mumtaz Begum, one of two women allegedly pushed into Bangladesh in June.
- Chief Minister Sarma claimed a BJP victory would enable the party and its allies to sweep all 126 Assembly seats in the 2031 state polls, after winning 102 seats in April; votes count on October 9.
