New Delhi: The Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) has secured a landslide victory in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections, winning 28 of the 40 seats and unseating the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) and the BJP, which had jointly governed the outgoing council.

The UPPL won seven seats and the BJP five, a significant drop from the 12 and nine seats they secured, respectively, in the 2020 BTC polls. The BPF had won 17 seats then, but the BJP and UPPL had formed a post-poll alliance to oust the BPF from power for the first time since the council’s formation in 2003.

The results mark a setback for the ruling BJP in Assam, which contested in 30 seats in the polls—billed as a semi-final ahead of the 2026 assembly election—after snapping its alliance with the UPPL. Show Full Artic
