Guwahati, March 16, 2026: The United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) has released its highly anticipated UPPL 1st candidate list for the upcoming Assam Legislative Assembly Election 2026, marking an early and aggressive move in the poll preparations, especially in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR).
Led by party president and prominent Bodo leader Pramod Boro, the initial list concentrates on key constituencies in the BTR, fielding experienced, locally influential, and dedicated leaders to consolidate the party’s base in its traditional strongholds.
The UPPL 1st candidate list includes:
- Gossaigaon: Anind Basumatary – A well-known social worker recognized for his contributions to local development.
- Dotma: Raju Kumar Narzary – Chosen for his strong grassroots connections and unwavering loyalty to the party.
- Kokrajhar: Lawrence Islary – Positioned to reinforce Kokrajhar as a UPPL fortress.
- Tamulpur: Pramod Boro – The UPPL president will personally contest from this seat.
- Bhergaon: Nerswn Boro
- Udalguri: Dipen Boro
- Bijni: Kamal Singh Narzary
This strategic selection of candidates underscores UPPL’s intent to showcase its organizational strength across the majority of BTR constituencies. Party sources indicate that announcements for the remaining seats are expected shortly.
UPPL has hinted at contesting a larger number of seats in the 2026 Assam Assembly polls, either independently or through potential alliances. The move has sparked intense discussions in political circles, particularly about the evolving dynamics between the BJP and UPPL in the BTR, as well as the counter-strategies of opposition parties like Congress, AAP, and AIUDF, which have also begun unveiling their candidate lists.
With the Assam Assembly Election 2026 drawing closer, UPPL’s early declaration of its first candidate list positions the party as a key player in the Bodoland region and signals a determined bid to expand its influence beyond previous alliances.
