As of 1 PM, the party has secured a commanding position in both Zila Parishad Constituencies (ZPC) and Anchalik Panchayat (AP) segments.
Vote counting, initiated this morning, has yielded consistent results from various districts, indicating a strong performance by the BJP. In the ZPC seat leads, the BJP is ahead with 52 seats, followed by Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) with 10 seats, Congress with 5 seats, and others with 1 seat. Raijor Dal and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) have yet to secure any leads in this segment.
