Gaurav Gogoi Likely to Contest Jorhat Assembly Seat in 2026

Congress deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi is likely to contest from the Jorhat Assembly constituency in the 2026 Assam elections. Party sources said his name was discussed by the Congress Central Election Committee, with an official announcement expected after March 2.

The move is seen as a strategy to strengthen Congress in Upper Assam. Gogoi, currently the Jorhat MP, is one of the party’s key leaders in the state. His possible candidature is expected to make Jorhat a high-profile and closely watched contest in 2026.
