Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's Jalukbari constituency among 30 seats to be altered by proposed delimitation

Guwahati: The delimitation draft in Assam, which was published recently, has unsettled several political heavyweights and is likely to change the political landscape of the state, if implemented. With many assembly and parliamentary constituencies being redrawn, several leaders will have to look for new constituencies for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and 2026 assembly elections if this draft is finalised.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will have to look for a new constituency as Jalukbari constituency, which he had been representing since 2001, will be divided into three parts.

As many as 30 assembly constituencies will cease to exist and 26 new constituencies have been created. Similarly, four Lok Sabha constituencies will no longer exist in their current shape.


BJP leader and Assam Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary's Panery constituency no longer exists while Forest Minister Chandra Mohan's Patowary seats in Dharmapur will no longer be there.

Some of the other seats excluded include that of Transport Minister Parimal Suklabaidya (Dholai), Siddhartha Bhattacharya (Guwahati East), Asom Gana Parishad's Ramendra Narayan Kalita (West Guwahati), Binod Hazarika (Chabua), Sushanta Borgohain (Thowra), Krishnendu Paul (Patharkandi), Rupsing Teron (Baithalangso), and Dosing Rohtang (Howraghat).

AGP's Pradip Hazarika's (Amguri) seat has ceased to exist. Congress leader Jakir Hussain Sikdar (Sarukhetri), Sherman Ali Ahmed (Baghbar), Rekibuddin Ahmed (Chaygaon), Bharat Narah (Naoboicha), and Basanta Das (Mangaldoi) will have to look for new constituencies.
