Raijor Dal Announces 11 Candidates for Assam Assembly Elections 2026: Full List and Key Contenders

Guwahati, Assam – In a significant development ahead of the Assam Assembly Elections 2026, the regional party Raijor Dal has officially announced its first list of 11 candidates who will contest from various assembly constituencies across the state. Led by MLA Akhil Gogoi, the party is positioning itself as a strong alternative force in Assam politics, focusing on issues like secularism, federalism, and people-centric governance.

This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions and uncertainties in opposition alliances, particularly with the Congress party, where seat-sharing talks have faced challenges. Despite these hurdles, Raijor Dal is moving forward independently with its candidate selections to challenge the ruling BJP in key seats.

Full List of Raijor Dal’s 11 Candidates for Assam Assembly Elections 2026:

Abdur Rashid Mondal – Purb Goalpara (East Goalpara) constituency. A notable inclusion, as the three-time former Congress MLA recently joined Raijor Dal, bringing significant experience from the Goalpara region.
Ramen Chandra Barthakur – Jalukbari constituency.
Anjan Talukdar – Mangs constituency.
Azizur Rahman – Dalgain (Dalgaon) constituency.
Mehbub Mukhtar – Dhing constituency, a strategically important seat with strong minority influence.
Alok Nath – Tezpur constituency, one of the prominent urban-rural mixed seats in central Assam.
Dulal Chandra Baruah – Sisisargaon (Sissibargaon) constituency.
Rahul Chetri – Margherita constituency. This was earlier announced by party chief Akhil Gogoi at a workers’ meet in Margherita.
Lakhyajyoti Gogoi – Digboi constituency.
Dr. Gyanashree Bora – Mariani constituency.
Ratan Dao – Bokakhat constituency.

(Note: Constituency names are based on standard English transliterations commonly used for Assam’s assembly segments, such as Purb Goalpara for East Goalpara, Dalgain for Dalgaon, and Sisisargaon for Sissibargaon.)

The release of this Raijor Dal candidates list signals the party’s intent to expand its footprint beyond its current strongholds, targeting a mix of minority-dominated, tea garden-influenced, and urban-fringe seats. With the Assam Assembly Elections 2026 expected in March–April, this move could influence opposition strategies and voter alignments in the state.

Raijor Dal, founded on principles of anti-corruption and regional aspirations, aims to capitalize on public discontent with the current administration. Party sources indicate this is the initial list, with more announcements likely as the election schedule draws closer.
