Abhayapuri Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, created in the 2023 delimitation by merging the former Abhayapuri North and Abhayapuri South (SC) seats. It is a general (unreserved) constituency in Bongaigaon district and falls under the Barpeta Lok Sabha segment. The main political parties in Assam include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Bodoland People's Front (BPF), United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM). In the 2021 Assam Assembly elections, both predecessor constituencies were won by the Indian National Congress. In Abhayapuri North, Abdul Batin Khandakar of the INC secured 93,276 votes, defeating AGP's Bhupen Roy (60,495 votes) by a commanding margin of 32,781 votes. In Abhayapuri South, Congress's Pradip Sarkar won the Scheduled Caste reserved seat. Together, the two constituencies had approximately 3.94 lakh registered electors. In 2026, the political landscape has shifted sharply: Bhupen Roy — the 2021 AGP runner-up in Abhayapuri North — now contests under the BJP banner, while Pradip Sarkar defends his base for Congress. The merger of a general and an SC-reserved seat into a single general constituency adds a new layer of complexity to candidate selection and vote arithmetic. The 2026 Assam Assembly elections will test Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's BJP-led government, which swept to power with a comfortable majority in 2021. With the opposition Congress-AIUDF combine seeking to consolidate anti-incumbency sentiment, every constituency will be a crucial battleground in deciding whether the state returns a second consecutive BJP government.
