Khowang Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, created as a new seat in the 2023 delimitation exercise. It is located in the Dibrugarh district belt of upper Assam and falls under the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha segment. Khowang draws from rural and semi-urban areas at the Dibrugarh-Sivasagar border, an oil and tea economy zone.
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).
As a newly created constituency, Khowang does not carry a direct 2021 result. Adjacent Duliajan in 2021 was won by BJP's Terash Gowalla with 54,762 votes over INC by 8,110 votes, and Tingkhong by BJP's Bimal Borah with 28,394-vote margin. In 2026, BJP fields Chakradhar Gogoi while Congress fields Lurinjyoti Gogoi (AJP) for this new seat.
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.
