AIUDF Likely to Contest 2026 Assam Polls Alone, Focuses on 35 Minority-Dominated Seats

AIUDF is set to contest the 2026 Assam Assembly elections independently, focusing on 35 constituencies with significant Muslim populations, especially Bengali-speaking Muslims. The party aims to avoid splitting votes statewide and maintain its anti-BJP stance. Despite setbacks in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, AIUDF sees renewed support in recent panchayat elections and hopes for stronger results in 2026.
