Nagaon-Batadraba assembly elections 2026: Voting trends, history and contestants

Nagaon-Batadraba is one of the 126 constituencies of the Assam Legislative Assembly. It was created as a new seat during the 2023 delimitation exercise.

The constituency is located in Nagaon district in central Assam and falls under the Nowgong Lok Sabha segment.

The seat covers the Nagaon-Batadraba region, which is culturally significant as it is home to the Sri Sri Batadraba Than, one of Assam's important Vaishnavite satras. The constituency has a mixed electorate consisting of agrarian and semi-urban communities.

Major political parties active in Assam include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Indian National Congress (INC), Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Bodoland People's Front (BPF), United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM).

As a newly formed constituency, Nagaon-Batadraba does not have a direct 2021 Assembly result. However, in the broader Nagaon region, the Congress won Samaguri in 2021 with Rakibul Hussain securing victory by 26,098 votes, while the BJP won Barhampur.
