2006 Assam Legislative Assembly election
The 2006 Assam Legislative Assembly election was held in two phases on April 3 and April 11, 2006, to elect 126 representatives to the Assam Legislative Assembly. This election was significant in the political landscape of Assam, which has faced various socio-political challenges, including ethnic conflicts and insurgency. The incumbent Indian National Congress, led by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, sought to retain power against a backdrop of rising regionalism and challenges from the Asom Gana Parishad and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The election recorded a voter turnout of approximately 70%, reflecting the electorate's engagement in the democratic process. The results ultimately reaffirmed the Congress's dominance in Assam, allowing Gogoi to continue as Chief Minister.
