The Congress party has finalized an initial list of around 45 candidates for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, retaining most sitting MLAs. Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President Gaurav Gogoi is likely to contest from Jorhat. While the party plans to contest about 100 seats, seat-sharing talks with allies, including Raijor Dal, are ongoing. The official candidate list release may be delayed until the BJP announces its lineup. Protests have emerged within the party over seat allocations in some constituencies.
