Congress to Contest in Five Upcoming Byelections

Congress will contest in byelections for five Legislative Assembly Constituencies (LACs) later this year. This decision was made in a meeting held in Guwahati, attended by party members from Behali, Samaguri, Dholai, Bongaigaon, and Sidli. APCC chief Bhupen Kumar Borah stated that the party will independently contest these bypolls. Five committees will be formed, one for each LAC, to engage with grassroots workers and prepare for the elections. The byelections are necessitated as the sitting MLAs from these constituencies were elected to the Lok Sabha and resigned from the Assembly.
