As per reports, out of the 126 seats, the BJP is would contest in 92 seats, Assam Gana Parishad will contest in 26 seats and the remaining eight for the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL).

Meanwhile, former chief minister and six time MLA Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, who is the founder of AGP, might not get a ticket this time. Mahanata is currently unwell and undergoing treatment in Delhi.

The decision came after a series of meetings in Delhi with the central leadership.
