Assembly Elections 2026: Congress's Nurul Islam Wins Srijangram By Over 18,000 Votes

Srijangram: Congress candidate Md Nurul Islam has won in Srijangram Assembly seat by 18305 votes.

At the end of counting, Nurul Islam finished with 106716 votes while All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) candidate Rejaul Karim Sarkar secured 88411 votes.

Other candidates are Shahidul Hoque of Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), Nurul Amin Khan of Voters Socialistic Party of India (VSIP) and Hanif Ali Sk of Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) (SUCIC).

Located in the Bongaigaon district of Assam, Srijangram is a predominantly rural constituency with agriculture as the primary occupation. The region has witnessed gradual political shifts over the years.

The Assembly constituency was carved out following delimitation in 2023, when the earlier Abhayapuri North and Abhayapuri South constituencies were abolished and reorganised. It is located in the Dhubri-Goalpara belt of western Assam and falls under the Dhubri Lok Sabha segment. Srijangram was carved out primarily by consolidating Muslim-majority areas from the two dissolved seats along with some adjoining villages, resulting in a new constituency with a markedly different voter profile.

As per the election affidavits, Islam holds total assets of Rs 5.2 crore and has no criminal cases. Sarkar owns assets valued at Rs 1.1 crore and has no criminal case. Hoque holds Rs 1.8 crore assets and three criminal cases of a serious nature. Ali holds total assets of Rs 83,683 and has no criminal cases.

In the 2021 Assembly election, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 75 seats, while the Congress-led alliance won 50 seats.

Polling was conducted here on April 9.
