The people of Assam have spoken, and now it's time to see who will form the next government. The voting process was a success, with a massive 85.38% of voters casting their ballots. This is a clear indication of the strong public interest in the election.

The counting of votes will take place on May 4th, and it's going to be a long day. The Election Commission of India has scheduled the counting to start at 8:00 AM IST. We can expect to see early trends emerging by 9:30 AM, and the final tally should be clear by the late afternoon or evening.

This election has been a closely watched one, with several key candidates vying for power. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is aiming for another win from Jalukbari, while Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has shifted to Jorhat, making it a hotly contested seat. The BJP is focusing on development under its 'Double Engine' government, while the Congress is hoping to win back support in the tea-growing areas.

According to the latest exit poll data, the NDA is predicted to win between 88–101 seats, crossing the majority mark of 64. This is a clear edge over the Congress-led opposition alliance, which is estimated to secure 23–33 seats. Others, including the AIUDF, are likely to be restricted to 0–5 seats.
