LIVE | BTC Election Final Count: BPF- 28, UPPL- 7, BJP- 5

With the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) election results scheduled to be declared on September 26, preparations across the entire Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) are complete to ensure a smooth and transparent counting process.

The contest has seen the BJP, United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF)—all part of the NDA—face off against each other, with the outcome set to determine the council’s next ruling formation.

Counting will begin at 8 am on Friday under the supervision of District Commissioners and Returning Officers across all BTR districts. On Thursday, the administration conducted the Second Level Randomisation of counting personnel in respective district centers, with General Observers, SDOs, and other officials present to oversee the process.

Counting supervisors, assistants, and micro-observers have been systematically grouped constituency-wise for deployment at counting halls. A second round of training for counting staff was also conducted at local venues, focusing on counting protocols, postal ballot handling, and strict adherence to Election Commission guidelines.

District Commissioners held final coordination meetings with Assistant Returning Officers (AROs) to review preparedness and emphasize impartiality.

Acknowledging the political context, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma noted that the sudden passing of cultural icon Zubeen Garg had disrupted the BJP’s campaign momentum. “We had expected a strong performance based on our campaign efforts. However, the last three days were a setback as we had to suspend campaigning to focus on Zubeen’s cremation. The results may not fully reflect our initial expectations, but they should still surpass the previous performance,” Sarma said.

He added that while BJP, UPPL, and BPF are all NDA allies, the post-election scenario will determine coalition formations. “Congress is unlikely to win any seats. The 40 seats will be divided among the three parties, but all three cannot form a government together. It could be BPF and UPPL, UPPL and BJP, or BPF and BJP. The results will decide how things unfold,” he said.

With security tightened and administrative arrangements in place across the BTR, all eyes will be on the region on Friday as counting unfolds for one of Assam’s most closely watched elections.
