Ram Krishna Nagar Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, a Scheduled Castes (SC) reserved seat formerly listed as Ratabari before the 2023 delimitation updated the official name to Ram Krishna Nagar. It is located in Cachar district in the Barak Valley and falls under the Karimganj Lok Sabha constituency.
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 (contested as Ratabari), BJP's Bijoy Malakar won the seat with a commanding margin of 36,221 votes (26.63 per cent), defeating Congress's Sambhu Sing Mallah. The constituency had approximately 1.37 lakh registered voters in 2021, of which 70,261 were male and 65,234 were female. In 2026, Bijoy Malakar defends for BJP against Congress's Suruchi Roy in the renamed Ram Krishna Nagar 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.
