Assam 2026 election shows clear CM choice for BJP. Himanta Biswa Sarma is positioned for a second term as chief minister if the party returns to power, with vote counting scheduled for May 4. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has consistently backed Sarma across multiple campaign rallies, emphasizing BJP's commitment to bringing him back as CM. Unlike 2021 when uncertainty surrounded the chief ministerial selection for days after results, party leadership has already solidified support around Sarma this time. Senior BJP officials attribute this clarity to Sarma's rising popularity over his five-year tenure and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's repeated public praise for his governance performance. Exit polls currently favor BJP and its allies, strengthening the party's confidence in its electoral prospects across the state's 126-member assembly.
