Guwahati: The Indian National Congress (INC) registered its biggest victory margin in the Assam Assembly elections from Gauripur, where Abdus Sobahan Ali Sarkar won by 1,19,097 votes.
The margin was the highest secured by the party in the 2026 Assembly polls and established Gauripur as Congress’ strongest seat in the state in this election cycle.
Among other major victories for the party, Jaleshwar recorded a winning margin of 1,09,688 votes, followed by Samaguri with 1,08,310 votes. Algapur-Katlicherra also witnessed a significant Congress victory with a margin of 1,05,448 votes.
While these constituencies also crossed the one-lakh mark, their victory margins remained notably lower than that of Gauripur.
The party also registered sizeable victory margins in constituencies such as Chenga (87,349), Karimganj South (86,632) and Chamaria (78,696).
In contrast, constituencies such as Nowboicha and Karimganj North witnessed relatively closer contests, with margins of 23,751 and 26,003 votes respectively.
Despite posting commanding victory margins in several constituencies, the Congress secured only 19 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, underlining the gap between its isolated strongholds and overall electoral performance across the state.
