Guwahati: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday stepped up its preparations for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections by releasing its second list of candidates, naming six nominees for key constituencies across the state.
In a significant move, the party has fielded Ballav Patra from Dispur, a high-profile constituency that houses the state’s administrative capital, indicating its intent to make inroads into urban Assam. Pranab Priyangshu Dutta has been nominated from Jorhat, another politically prominent seat in upper Assam.
The party has also named Ranu Mai Teronpi from Barhampur, Biresh Difoesa from Diphu, Saynul Haque from North Karimganj, and Elvin Baruah from Palashbari.
The announcement follows the release of AAP’s first list earlier this week, reflecting a phased and calibrated strategy to expand its footprint across upper, central and lower Assam.
The first list included candidates such as Achyut Das (Naoboicha), Pulin Gogoi (Dergaon), Jarbom Kutum (Gohpur) and Anurupa Dekaraja (Central Guwahati). Other nominees announced earlier were Ashis Hazarika (Khumtai), Tapan Gogoi (Sivasagar), Tikendra Thapa (Ronganadi) and Zahidul Islam Khan (Chenga).
Additionally, the party had named Ranjeet Boro (Naduar), Pallav Saikia (Titabar), Jinna Amir Hussain (East Goalpara), Barun Bikas Das (Raha), Renuka Timungpi (Bokajan) and Ananta Gogoi (Biswanath).
The candidate lists were formally announced through an official statement issued by Rajesh Sharma, AAP’s Assam state in-charge.
