BJP-RHJM Coalition's Sweeping Victory in RHAC Elections

The BJP-RHJM coalition has claimed victory in the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council election, securing 33 of the 36 seats. Despite initial data reflecting only three wins for the BJP, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the majority. The official results, pending final confirmation, show strong support for the alliance.

The BJP-RHJM coalition is on course to retain control of the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council after the election results counted on Friday signaled a sweeping victory. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the coalition secured a majority with 33 out of 36 seats.

While State Election Commission data initially reported the BJP's victory in three seats and 11 in the hands of Independent candidates, these Independents were candidates from BJP's ally, Rabha Hasong Joutha Mancha (RHJM), whose victories significantly contributed to the coalition's success.

Polling was conducted for 33 seats, excluding three decided uncontested. 69% of 4.46 lakh eligible voters cast their vote. Final official results are pending, but the count reflects a strong endorsement of NDA's policies, as highlighted by Sarma's celebratory remarks on social media.
